Synopsis

  use APR::BucketAlloc ();
  $ba = APR::BucketAlloc->new($pool);
  $ba->destroy;


TOP

Description

APR::BucketAlloc is used for bucket allocation.



TOP

new

Create an APR::BucketAlloc object:

  $ba = APR::BucketAlloc->new($pool);

This bucket allocation list (freelist) is used to create new buckets (via APR::Bucket->new) and bucket brigades (via APR::Brigade->new).

You only need to use this method if you aren't running under httpd. If you are running under mod_perl, you already have a bucket allocation available via $c->bucket_alloc and $bb->bucket_alloc.

Example:

  use APR::BucketAlloc ();
  use APR::Pool ();
  my $ba = APR::BucketAlloc->(APR::Pool->pool);
  my $eos_b = APR::Bucket::eos_create($ba);


TOP

destroy

Destroy an APR::BucketAlloc object:

  $ba->destroy;

Once destroyed this object may not be used again.

You need to destroy $ba only if you have created it via APR::BucketAlloc->new. If you try to destroy an allocation not created by this method, you will get a segmentation fault.

Moreover normally it is not necessary to destroy allocators, since the pool which created them will destroy them during that pool's cleanup phase.
