26 * Nasty internal details ahead...
28 * File curl_memory.h must be included by _all_ *.c source files
29 * that use memory related functions strdup, malloc, calloc, realloc
30 * or free, and given source file is used to build libcurl library.
32 * There is nearly no exception to above rule. All libcurl source
33 * files in 'lib' subdirectory as well as those living deep inside
34 * 'packages' subdirectories and linked together in order to build
35 * libcurl library shall follow it.
37 * File lib/strdup.c is an exception, given that it provides a strdup
38 * clone implementation while using malloc. Extra care needed inside
39 * this one. TODO: revisit this paragraph and related code.
41 * The need for curl_memory.h inclusion is due to libcurl's feature
42 * of allowing library user to provide memory replacement functions,
43 * memory callbacks, at runtime with curl_global_init_mem()
45 * Any *.c source file used to build libcurl library that does not
46 * include curl_memory.h and uses any memory function of the five
47 * mentioned above will compile without any indication, but it will
48 * trigger weird memory related issues at runtime.
50 * OTOH some source files from 'lib' subdirectory may additionally be
51 * used directly as source code when using some curlx_ functions by
52 * third party programs that don't even use libcurl at all. When using
53 * these source files in this way it is necessary these are compiled
54 * with CURLX_NO_MEMORY_CALLBACKS defined, in order to ensure that no
55 * attempt of calling libcurl's memory callbacks is done from code
56 * which can not use this machinery.
58 * Notice that libcurl's 'memory tracking' system works chaining into
59 * the memory callback machinery. This implies that when compiling
60 * 'lib' source files with CURLX_NO_MEMORY_CALLBACKS defined this file
61 * disengages usage of libcurl's 'memory tracking' system, defining
62 * MEMDEBUG_NODEFINES and overriding CURLDEBUG purpose.
64 * CURLX_NO_MEMORY_CALLBACKS takes precedence over CURLDEBUG. This is
65 * done in order to allow building a 'memory tracking' enabled libcurl
66 * and at the same time allow building programs which do not use it.
68 * Programs and libraries in 'tests' subdirectories have specific
69 * purposes and needs, and as such each one will use whatever fits
70 * best, depending additionally wether it links with libcurl or not.
72 * Caveat emptor. Proper curlx_* separation is a work in progress
73 * the same as CURLX_NO_MEMORY_CALLBACKS usage, some adjustments may
74 * still be required. IOW don't use them yet, there are sharp edges.
