Hi,
In r37027 I've commited basic slab allocator (based on macros from slab.h)
It's NOT thread safe allocator, but it should be good replacement for g_mem_chunk_alloc_*().
It might be also used as replacement for g_slice_*()
It has simillar function like g_mem_chunk to free all used memory (sl_free_all()).
I wanted to cleanup code like:
#if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,10,0)
ptr = g_slice_new(...);
#else
ptr = g_mem_chunk_alloc(...);
#endif
with single:
ptr = sl_alloc(...);
sl_ allocator already passed multiple fuzz testing so it should be stable.
I know about near 1.6 release (and it looks like bigger change).
And maybe in 1.[78] we finally drop older glib release which would
remove all g_mem_chunk_alloc().
Comments?
