This repo fork from reed-lau, thanks to him for make it more better!

a nginx-based memory pool .
both share-memory and private-memory are supported. it is more efficient than malloc.
it is a very light weight and do not rely on any third-party library.

    #include "ncx_slab.h"

    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
        char *p;
        size_t  pool_size = 4096000;  //4M
        ncx_slab_stat_t stat;
        u_char  *space;
        space = (u_char *)malloc(pool_size);

         ncx_slab_pool_t *sp;
         sp = (ncx_slab_pool_t*) space;

         sp->addr = space;
         sp->min_shift = 3;
         sp->end = space + pool_size;

         /*
          * init
          */
         ncx_slab_init(sp);

         /*
          * alloc
          */
         p = ncx_slab_alloc(sp, 128);

         /*
          *  memory usage api.
		  *  note: this is optional. call it if you want to see memory usage status.
          */
         ncx_slab_stat(sp, &stat);

         /*
          * free
          */
         ncx_slab_free(sp, p);

         free(space);

         return 0;
    }

void ncx_slab_init(ncx_slab_pool_t *pool)

Description: 初始化内存池结构；

void *ncx_slab_alloc(ncx_slab_pool_t *pool, size_t size)

Description: 内存分配

void ncx_slab_free(ncx_slab_pool_t *pool, void *ptr)

Description: 释放内存

void ncx_slab_stat(ncx_slab_pool_t *pool, ncx_slab_stat_t *stat)

Description: 查看内存池使用情况,（通过log接口打印）

正如example所示，内存池内存是由应用层先分配，ncx_mempool是在给定的内存基础上进行分配和回收管理。
所以内存池本身不关心所管理的内存是私有内存 or 共享内存;

ncx_lock.h 是锁接口；根据实际需要重定义:

1. 多线程共享内存池，可参考pthread_spin_lock
   
2. 多进程共享内存池，可参考nginx的ngx_shmtx.c实现spin lock
   
3. 单进程单线程使用内存池，无锁编程..

ncx_log.h 是日志接口，根据实际需要重定义.

ncx_slab.c.orz 是 ncx_slab.c的详细注释，方便理解.

注意： 在使用的时候请务必添加-O2或或-Os或-O3编译参数进行代码优化，否则效率可能还不如malloc/free. 在调试阶段，可以使用-O0编译参数，方便跟踪调试。
