Vicent Marti 93b5fabc 2012-10-01T17:59:04 threads: Assert that the global state is initialized
Carlos Martín Nieto 8cef828d 2012-08-18T22:11:49 Make the memory-window conrol structures global Up to now, the idea was that the user would do all the operations for one repository in the same thread. Thus we could have the memory-mapped window information thread-local and avoid any locking. This is not practical in a few environments, such as Apple's GCD which allocates threads arbitrarily or the .NET CLR, where the OS-level thread can change at any moment. Make the control structure global and protect it with a mutex so we don't depend on the thread currently executing the code.
Russell Belfer 2bc8fa02 2012-04-17T10:14:24 Implement git_pool paged memory allocator This adds a `git_pool` object that can do simple paged memory allocation with free for the entire pool at once. Using this, you can replace many small allocations with large blocks that can then cheaply be doled out in small pieces. This is best used when you plan to free the small blocks all at once - for example, if they represent the parsed state from a file or data stream that are either all kept or all discarded. There are two real patterns of usage for `git_pools`: either for "string" allocation, where the item size is a single byte and you end up just packing the allocations in together, or for "fixed size" allocation where you are allocating a large object (e.g. a `git_oid`) and you generally just allocation single objects that can be tightly packed. Of course, you can use it for other things, but those two cases are the easiest.
