Set the allocation functions used by the
|
||
<a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5. The DB_ENV Handle">DB_ENV</a> and
|
||
<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> methods to allocate or free
|
||
memory owned by the application.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are a number of interfaces in Berkeley DB where memory is
|
||
allocated by the library and then given to the application. For
|
||
example, the <a class="link" href="dbt.html#dbt_DB_DBT_MALLOC">DB_DBT_MALLOC</a>
|
||
flag, when specified in the <a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a>
|
||
object, will cause the <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> methods to allocate and
|
||
reallocate memory which then becomes the responsibility of the calling
|
||
application. (See <a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a>
|
||
for more information.) Other examples are the Berkeley DB interfaces
|
||
which return statistical information to the application:
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbstat.html" title="DB->stat()">DB->stat()</a>,
|
||
<a class="xref" href="lockstat.html" title="DB_ENV->lock_stat()">DB_ENV->lock_stat()</a>,
|
||
<a class="xref" href="logarchive.html" title="DB_ENV->log_archive()">DB_ENV->log_archive()</a>,
|
||
<a class="xref" href="logstat.html" title="DB_ENV->log_stat()">DB_ENV->log_stat()</a>,
|
||
<a class="xref" href="mempstat.html" title="DB_ENV->memp_stat()">DB_ENV->memp_stat()</a>,
|
||
and <a class="xref" href="txnstat.html" title="DB_ENV->txn_stat()">DB_ENV->txn_stat()</a>. There is
|
||
one method in Berkeley DB where memory is allocated by the application
|
||
and then given to the library: <a class="xref" href="dbassociate.html" title="DB->associate()">DB->associate()</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
On systems in which there may be multiple library versions of the
|
||
standard allocation routines (notably Windows NT), transferring memory
|
||
between the library and the application will fail because the Berkeley
|
||
DB library allocates memory from a different heap than the application
|
||
uses to free it. To avoid this problem, the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envset_alloc.html" title="DB_ENV->set_alloc()">DB_ENV->set_alloc()</a> and
|
||
<code class="methodname">DB->set_alloc()</code> methods can be used to pass Berkeley DB references to
|
||
the application's allocation routines.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
It is not an error to specify only one or two of the possible
|
||
allocation function parameters to these interfaces; however, in that
|
||
case the specified interfaces must be compatible with the standard
|
||
library interfaces, as they will be used together. The functions
|
||
specified must match the calling conventions of the ANSI C X3.159-1989
|
||
(ANSI C) library routines of the same name.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Because databases opened within Berkeley DB environments use the
|
||
allocation interfaces specified to the environment, it is an error to
|
||
attempt to set those interfaces in a database created within an
|
||
environment.

The <code class="methodname">DB->set_alloc()</code> method may not be called after the
