|
+ * TALLOC_CTX - indicate that a pointer is used as a talloc parent.
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * As talloc is a hierarchial memory allocator, every talloc chunk is a
|
|
|
+ * potential parent to other talloc chunks. So defining a separate type for a
|
|
|
+ * talloc chunk is not strictly necessary. TALLOC_CTX is defined nevertheless,
|
|
|
+ * as it provides an indicator for function arguments.
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * Example:
|
|
|
+ * struct foo {
|
|
|
+ * int val;
|
|
|
+ * };
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * static struct foo *foo_new(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx)
|
|
|
+ * {
|
|
|
+ * struct foo *foo = talloc(mem_ctx, struct foo);
|
|
|
+ * if (foo)
|
|
|
+ * foo->val = 0;
|
|
|
+ * return foo;
|
|
|
+ * }
