2014-02-02buflib: Properly support allocations without any name, to avoid wasting spaceThomas Martitz
in micro-allocation scenarios. Change-Id: I97a065bcfba8e0fda9b1670445e839e267c769c8
2014-01-16buflib: Add crc field protecting buflib cookie integrityMarcin Bukat
This should catch the case of buffer misuse which results in corrupted cookie of next allocation. The check is performed on move_block() so it may be a bit late. There is buflib_check_valid() provided which checks the integrity of all cookies for given context. On DEBUG build with --sdl-thread this check is carried out for core_ctx on every context switch to catch problems earlier.

2013-07-07buflib: Change buflib_available() and add buflib_allocatable().Thomas Martitz
buflib_allocatable() is what buflib_available() was before (it was in fact simply renamed). It returns the largest contiguous block of memory. This can be allocated and will definitely succeed, although larger allocations may also succeed if the buffer can be compacted and shrinked. buflib_available() now counts all free bytes, contiguous or not. This better matches the description and how the caller use it.

2011-10-05core_alloc: Provide a tiny test allocation, which can be freed for debug ↵Thomas Martitz
purposes. This allocation can be freed in the buflib debug menu (select it to free). Doing a another allocation, e.g. by selecting another item in this debug menu will cause compaction (all allocs move). git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@30719 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657

2011-08-30GSoC/Buflib: Add buflib memory alocator to the core.Thomas Martitz
The buflib memory allocator is handle based and can free and compact, move or resize memory on demand. This allows to effeciently allocate memory dynamically without an MMU, by avoiding fragmentation through memory compaction. This patch adds the buflib library to the core, along with convinience wrappers to omit the context parameter. Compaction is not yet enabled, but will be in a later patch. Therefore, this acts as a replacement for buffer_alloc/buffer_get_buffer() with the benifit of a debug menu. See buflib.h for some API documentation. git-svn-id: svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk@30380 a1c6a512-1295-4272-9138-f99709370657
