man APR::BucketAlloc () - Perl API for Bucket Allocation

NAME

APR::BucketAlloc - Perl API for Bucket Allocation

Synopsis

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

Description

CWAPR::BucketAlloc is used for bucket allocation. Create an CWAPR::BucketAlloc object: 

  $ba = APR::BucketAlloc->new($pool);
The pool used to create this object. The new object.
since: 2.0.00

This bucket allocation list (freelist) is used to create new buckets (via CWAPR::Bucket->new) and bucket brigades (via CWAPR::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 CW$c->bucket_alloc and CW$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);
Destroy an CWAPR::BucketAlloc object: 

  $ba->destroy;
The freelist to destroy.
ret: no return value
since: 2.0.00

Once destroyed this object may not be used again.

You need to destroy CW$ba only if you have created it via CWAPR::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.
