lmem.c 里面也是定义了三个函数:

  • void *luaM_growaux_ (lua_State *L, void *block, int *size, size_t size_elems, int limit, const char *what)
  • l_noret luaM_toobig (lua_State *L)
  • void *luaM_realloc_ (lua_State *L, void *block, size_t osize, size_t nsize)

luaM_realloc_(lmem.c#74)

/*
** generic allocation routine.
*/
void *luaM_realloc_ (lua_State *L, void *block, size_t osize, size_t nsize) {
  void *newblock;
  global_State *g = G(L);
  size_t realosize = (block) ? osize : 0;
  lua_assert((realosize == 0) == (block == NULL));
#if defined(HARDMEMTESTS)
  if (nsize > realosize && g->gcrunning)
    luaC_fullgc(L, 1);  /* force a GC whenever possible */
#endif
  newblock = (*g->frealloc)(g->ud, block, osize, nsize);
  if (newblock == NULL && nsize > 0) {
    lua_assert(nsize > realosize);  /* cannot fail when shrinking a block */
    if (g->version) {  /* is state fully built? */
      luaC_fullgc(L, 1);  /* try to free some memory... */
      newblock = (*g->frealloc)(g->ud, block, osize, nsize);  /* try again */
    }
    if (newblock == NULL)
      luaD_throw(L, LUA_ERRMEM);
  }
  lua_assert((nsize == 0) == (newblock == NULL));
  g->GCdebt = (g->GCdebt + nsize) - realosize;
  return newblock;
}

luaM_realloc_ 方法是一个通用的方法,在 lmem.h 里面定义了很多宏,都是依赖这个方法。这个方法需要依赖 global_State *g 里的 frealloc,在 Lua 启动的时候,会用 l_alloc 这个来赋值 frealloc。

/*
** About the realloc function:
** void * frealloc (void *ud, void *ptr, size_t osize, size_t nsize);
** ('osize' is the old size, 'nsize' is the new size)
**
** * frealloc(ud, NULL, x, s) creates a new block of size 's' (no
** matter 'x').
**
** * frealloc(ud, p, x, 0) frees the block 'p'
** (in this specific case, frealloc must return NULL);
** particularly, frealloc(ud, NULL, 0, 0) does nothing
** (which is equivalent to free(NULL) in ISO C)
**
** frealloc returns NULL if it cannot create or reallocate the area
** (any reallocation to an equal or smaller size cannot fail!)
*/
static void *l_alloc (void *ud, void *ptr, size_t osize, size_t nsize) {
  (void)ud; (void)osize;  /* not used */
  if (nsize == 0) {
    free(ptr);
    return NULL;
  }
  else
    return realloc(ptr, nsize);
}

留意到 HARDMEMTESTS 这个地方,我在 IRC 上问过,似乎是为了在每次分配内存的时候做一次 GC,帮助跟踪 GC 的 bug。

luaM_growaux_(lmem.c#48)

void *luaM_growaux_ (lua_State *L, void *block, int *size, size_t size_elems,
                     int limit, const char *what) {
  void *newblock;
  int newsize;
  if (*size >= limit/2) {  /* cannot double it? */
    if (*size >= limit)  /* cannot grow even a little? */
      luaG_runerror(L, "too many %s (limit is %d)", what, limit);
    newsize = limit;  /* still have at least one free place */
  }
  else {
    newsize = (*size)*2;
    if (newsize < MINSIZEARRAY)
      newsize = MINSIZEARRAY;  /* minimum size */
  }
  newblock = luaM_reallocv(L, block, *size, newsize, size_elems);
  *size = newsize;  /* update only when everything else is OK */
  return newblock;
}

这个函数应该主要是为了增长 vector 的空间的。

luaM_toobig(lmem.c#68)

l_noret luaM_toobig (lua_State *L) {
  luaG_runerror(L, "memory allocation error: block too big");
}

这个函数很明显是为了报错。

lmem.h

/*
** This macro reallocs a vector 'b' from 'on' to 'n' elements, where
** each element has size 'e'. In case of arithmetic overflow of the
** product 'n'*'e', it raises an error (calling 'luaM_toobig'). Because
** 'e' is always constant, it avoids the runtime division MAX_SIZET/(e).
**
** (The macro is somewhat complex to avoid warnings:  The 'sizeof'
** comparison avoids a runtime comparison when overflow cannot occur.
** The compiler should be able to optimize the real test by itself, but
** when it does it, it may give a warning about "comparison is always
** false due to limited range of data type"; the +1 tricks the compiler,
** avoiding this warning but also this optimization.)

lmem.h 定义了一些宏,方便给外界调用。
