The idea is that you would use these pre-tested macros to solve a very specific set of problems, and they would run fast. Caution: no side-effects in arguments please!! They may be evaluated MANY times!! These macros operate a stack of objects. Each object starts life small, and may grow to maturity. (Consider building a word syllable by syllable.) An object can move while it is growing. Once it has been "finished" it never changes address again. So the "top of the stack" is typically an immature growing object, while the rest of the stack is of mature, fixed size and fixed address objects. These routines grab large chunks of memory, using a function you supply, called `obstack_chunk_alloc'. On occasion, they free chunks, by calling `obstack_chunk_free'. You must define them and declare them before using any obstack macros. Each independent stack is represented by a `struct obstack'. Each of the obstack macros expects a pointer to such a structure as the first argument. One motivation for this package is the problem of growing char strings in symbol tables. Unless you are "fascist pig with a read-only mind" --Gosper's immortal quote from HAKMEM item 154, out of context--you would not like to put any arbitrary upper limit on the length of your symbols. In practice this often means you will build many short symbols and a few long symbols. At the time you are reading a symbol you don't know how long it is. One traditional method is to read a symbol into a buffer, realloc()ating the buffer every time you try to read a symbol that is longer than the buffer. This is beaut, but you still will want to copy the symbol from the buffer to a more permanent symbol-table entry say about half the time. With obstacks, you can work differently. Use one obstack for all symbol names. As you read a symbol, grow the name in the obstack gradually. When the name is complete, finalize it. Then, if the symbol exists already, free the newly read name. The way we do this is to take a large chunk, allocating memory from low addresses. When you want to build a symbol in the chunk you just add chars above the current "high water mark" in the chunk. When you have finished adding chars, because you got to the end of the symbol, you know how long the chars are, and you can create a new object. Mostly the chars will not burst over the highest address of the chunk, because you would typically expect a chunk to be (say) 100 times as long as an average object. In case that isn't clear, when we have enough chars to make up the object, THEY ARE ALREADY CONTIGUOUS IN THE CHUNK (guaranteed) so we just point to it where it lies. No moving of chars is needed and this is the second win: potentially long strings need never be explicitly shuffled. Once an object is formed, it does not change its address during its lifetime. When the chars burst over a chunk boundary, we allocate a larger chunk, and then copy the partly formed object from the end of the old chunk to the beginning of the new larger chunk. We then carry on accrediting characters to the end of the object as we normally would. A special macro is provided to add a single char at a time to a growing object. This allows the use of register variables, which break the ordinary 'growth' macro. Summary: We allocate large chunks. We carve out one object at a time from the current chunk. Once carved, an object never moves. We are free to append data of any size to the currently growing object. Exactly one object is growing in an obstack at any one time. You can run one obstack per control block. You may have as many control blocks as you dare. Because of the way we do it, you can `unwind' an obstack back to a previous state. (You may remove objects much as you would with a stack.) */ /* Don't do the contents of this file more than once. */ #ifndef _OBSTACK_H #define _OBSTACK_H … #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif /* We need the type of a pointer subtraction.
