tiny bug in vars.pm (from John Dlugosz)

[perl5.git] / malloc.c

/*    malloc.c
 *
 */

/*
  Here are some notes on configuring Perl's malloc.  (For non-perl
  usage see below.)
 
  There are two macros which serve as bulk disablers of advanced
  features of this malloc: NO_FANCY_MALLOC, PLAIN_MALLOC (undef by
  default).  Look in the list of default values below to understand
  their exact effect.  Defining NO_FANCY_MALLOC returns malloc.c to the
  state of the malloc in Perl 5.004.  Additionally defining PLAIN_MALLOC
  returns it to the state as of Perl 5.000.

  Note that some of the settings below may be ignored in the code based
  on values of other macros.  The PERL_CORE symbol is only defined when
  perl itself is being compiled (so malloc can make some assumptions
  about perl's facilities being available to it).

  Each config option has a short description, followed by its name,
  default value, and a comment about the default (if applicable).  Some
  options take a precise value, while the others are just boolean.
  The boolean ones are listed first.

    # Enable code for an emergency memory pool in $^M.  See perlvar.pod
    # for a description of $^M.
    PERL_EMERGENCY_SBRK		(!PLAIN_MALLOC && PERL_CORE)

    # Enable code for printing memory statistics.
    DEBUGGING_MSTATS		(!PLAIN_MALLOC && PERL_CORE)

    # Move allocation info for small buckets into separate areas.
    # Memory optimization (especially for small allocations, of the
    # less than 64 bytes).  Since perl usually makes a large number
    # of small allocations, this is usually a win.
    PACK_MALLOC			(!PLAIN_MALLOC && !RCHECK)

    # Add one page to big powers of two when calculating bucket size.
    # This is targeted at big allocations, as are common in image
    # processing.
    TWO_POT_OPTIMIZE		!PLAIN_MALLOC
 
    # Use intermediate bucket sizes between powers-of-two.  This is
    # generally a memory optimization, and a (small) speed pessimization.
    BUCKETS_ROOT2		!NO_FANCY_MALLOC

    # Do not check small deallocations for bad free().  Memory
    # and speed optimization, error reporting pessimization.
    IGNORE_SMALL_BAD_FREE	(!NO_FANCY_MALLOC && !RCHECK)

    # Use table lookup to decide in which bucket a given allocation will go.
    SMALL_BUCKET_VIA_TABLE	!NO_FANCY_MALLOC

    # Use a perl-defined sbrk() instead of the (presumably broken or
    # missing) system-supplied sbrk().
    USE_PERL_SBRK		undef

    # Use system malloc() (or calloc() etc.) to emulate sbrk(). Normally
    # only used with broken sbrk()s.
    PERL_SBRK_VIA_MALLOC	undef

    # Which allocator to use if PERL_SBRK_VIA_MALLOC
    SYSTEM_ALLOC(a) 		malloc(a)

    # Minimal alignment (in bytes, should be a power of 2) of SYSTEM_ALLOC
    SYSTEM_ALLOC_ALIGNMENT	MEM_ALIGNBYTES

    # Disable memory overwrite checking with DEBUGGING.  Memory and speed
    # optimization, error reporting pessimization.
    NO_RCHECK			undef

    # Enable memory overwrite checking with DEBUGGING.  Memory and speed
    # pessimization, error reporting optimization
    RCHECK			(DEBUGGING && !NO_RCHECK)

    # Failed allocations bigger than this size croak (if
    # PERL_EMERGENCY_SBRK is enabled) without touching $^M.  See
    # perlvar.pod for a description of $^M.
    BIG_SIZE			 (1<<16)	# 64K

    # Starting from this power of two, add an extra page to the
    # size of the bucket. This enables optimized allocations of sizes
    # close to powers of 2.  Note that the value is indexed at 0.
    FIRST_BIG_POW2 		15		# 32K, 16K is used too often

    # Estimate of minimal memory footprint.  malloc uses this value to
    # request the most reasonable largest blocks of memory from the system.
    FIRST_SBRK 			(48*1024)

    # Round up sbrk()s to multiples of this.
    MIN_SBRK 			2048

    # Round up sbrk()s to multiples of this percent of footprint.
    MIN_SBRK_FRAC 		3

    # Add this much memory to big powers of two to get the bucket size.
    PERL_PAGESIZE 		4096

    # This many sbrk() discontinuities should be tolerated even
    # from the start without deciding that sbrk() is usually
    # discontinuous.
    SBRK_ALLOW_FAILURES		3

    # This many continuous sbrk()s compensate for one discontinuous one.
    SBRK_FAILURE_PRICE		50

    # Some configurations may ask for 12-byte-or-so allocations which
    # require 8-byte alignment (?!).  In such situation one needs to
    # define this to disable 12-byte bucket (will increase memory footprint)
    STRICT_ALIGNMENT		undef

  This implementation assumes that calling PerlIO_printf() does not
  result in any memory allocation calls (used during a panic).

 * malloc.c (Caltech) 2/21/82
 * Chris Kingsley, kingsley@cit-20.
 *
 * This is a very fast storage allocator.  It allocates blocks of a small 
 * number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size.  Blocks that
 * don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size.  In this 
 * implementation, the available sizes are 2^n-4 (or 2^n-12) bytes long.
 * If PACK_MALLOC is defined, small blocks are 2^n bytes long.
 * This is designed for use in a program that uses vast quantities of memory,
 * but bombs when it runs out.
 * 
 * Modifications Copyright Ilya Zakharevich 1996-99.
 * 
 * Still very quick, but much more thrifty.  (Std config is 10% slower
 * than it was, and takes 67% of old heap size for typical usage.)
 *
 * Allocations of small blocks are now table-driven to many different
 * buckets.  Sizes of really big buckets are increased to accomodata
 * common size=power-of-2 blocks.  Running-out-of-memory is made into
 * an exception.  Deeply configurable and thread-safe.

/*
 * Layout of memory:
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * The memory is broken into "blocks" which occupy multiples of 2K (and
 * generally speaking, have size "close" to a power of 2).  The addresses
 * of such *unused* blocks are kept in nextf[i] with big enough i.  (nextf
 * is an array of linked lists.)  (Addresses of used blocks are not known.)
 * 
 * Moreover, since the algorithm may try to "bite" smaller blocks of out
 * of unused bigger ones, there are also regions of "irregular" size,
 * managed separately, by a linked list chunk_chain.
 * 
 * The third type of storage is the sbrk()ed-but-not-yet-used space, its
 * end and size are kept in last_sbrk_top and sbrked_remains.
 * 
 * Growing blocks "in place":
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * The address of the block with the greatest address is kept in last_op
 * (if not known, last_op is 0).  If it is known that the memory above
 * last_op is not continuous, or contains a chunk from chunk_chain,
 * last_op is set to 0.
 * 
 * The chunk with address last_op may be grown by expanding into
 * sbrk()ed-but-not-yet-used space, or trying to sbrk() more continuous
 * memory.
 * 
 * Management of last_op:
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * 
 * free() never changes the boundaries of blocks, so is not relevant.
 * 
 * The only way realloc() may change the boundaries of blocks is if it
 * grows a block "in place".  However, in the case of success such a
 * chunk is automatically last_op, and it remains last_op.  In the case
 * of failure getpages_adjacent() clears last_op.
 * 
 * malloc() may change blocks by calling morecore() only.
 * 
 * morecore() may create new blocks by:
 *   a) biting pieces from chunk_chain (cannot create one above last_op);
 *   b) biting a piece from an unused block (if block was last_op, this
 *      may create a chunk from chain above last_op, thus last_op is
 *      invalidated in such a case).
 *   c) biting of sbrk()ed-but-not-yet-used space.  This creates 
 *      a block which is last_op.
 *   d) Allocating new pages by calling getpages();
 * 
 * getpages() creates a new block.  It marks last_op at the bottom of
 * the chunk of memory it returns.
 * 
 * Active pages footprint:
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Note that we do not need to traverse the lists in nextf[i], just take
 * the first element of this list.  However, we *need* to traverse the
 * list in chunk_chain, but most the time it should be a very short one,
 * so we do not step on a lot of pages we are not going to use.
 * 
 * Flaws:
 * ~~~~~
 * get_from_bigger_buckets(): forget to increment price => Quite
 * aggressive.
