FUNCTIONS

pmsCreate

l_int32 pmsCreate ( size_t minsize, size_t smallest, NUMA *numalloc, const char *logfile )

pmsCreate()

    Input:  minsize (of data chunk that can be supplied by pms)
            smallest (bytes of the smallest pre-allocated data chunk.
            numalloc (array with the number of data chunks for each
                      size that are in the memory store)
            logfile (use for debugging; null otherwise)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

Notes:
    (1) This computes the size of the block of memory required
        and allocates it.  Each chunk starts on a 32-bit word boundary.
        The chunk sizes are in powers of 2, starting at @smallest,
        and the number of levels and chunks at each level is
        specified by @numalloc.
    (2) This is intended to manage the image data for a small number
        of relatively large pix.  The system malloc is expected to
        handle very large numbers of small chunks efficiently.
    (3) Important: set the allocators and call this function
        before any pix have been allocated.  Destroy all the pix
        in the normal way before calling pmsDestroy().
    (4) The pms struct is stored in a static global, so this function
        is not thread-safe.  When used, there must be only one thread
        per process.

pmsCustomAlloc

void * pmsCustomAlloc ( size_t nbytes )

pmsCustomAlloc()

    Input: nbytes (min number of bytes in the chunk to be retrieved)
    Return: data (ptr to chunk)

Notes:
    (1) This attempts to find a suitable pre-allocated chunk.
        If not found, it dynamically allocates the chunk.
    (2) If logging is turned on, the allocations that are not taken
        from the memory store, and are at least as large as the
        minimum size the store can handle, are logged to file.

pmsCustomDealloc

void pmsCustomDealloc ( void *data )

pmsCustomDealloc()

    Input: data (to be freed or returned to the storage)
    Return: void

pmsDestroy

void pmsDestroy ( )

pmsDestroy()

    Input:  (none)
    Return: void

Notes:
    (1) Important: call this function at the end of the program, after
        the last pix has been destroyed.

pmsGetAlloc

void * pmsGetAlloc ( size_t nbytes )

pmsGetAlloc()

    Input:  nbytes
    Return: data

Notes:
    (1) This is called when a request for pix data cannot be
        obtained from the preallocated memory store.  After use it
        is freed like normal memory.
    (2) If logging is on, only write out allocs that are as large as
        the minimum size handled by the memory store.
    (3) size_t is %lu on 64 bit platforms and %u on 32 bit platforms.
        The C99 platform-independent format specifier for size_t is %zu,
        but windows hasn't conformed, so we are forced to go back to
        C89, use %lu, and cast to get platform-independence.  Ugh.

pmsGetLevelForAlloc

l_int32 pmsGetLevelForAlloc ( size_t nbytes, l_int32 *plevel )

pmsGetLevelForAlloc()

    Input: nbytes (min number of bytes in the chunk to be retrieved)
           &level (<return>; -1 if either too small or too large)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

pmsGetLevelForDealloc

l_int32 pmsGetLevelForDealloc ( void *data, l_int32 *plevel )

pmsGetLevelForDealloc()

    Input: data (ptr to memory chunk)
           &level (<return> level in memory store; -1 if allocated
                   outside the store)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

pmsLogInfo

void pmsLogInfo ( )

pmsLogInfo()

    Input:  (none)
    Return: void
