Right now, Duktape doesn't always know the allocation size of a buffer
|
|
|
|
|
being freed. If this were changed, zeroing could be implemented trivially.
|
|
|
|
|
Duktape should know the alloc size of all buffers now: heap objects have
|
|
|
|
|
a fixed size, strings and buffers have an explicit buffer size, property
|
|
|
|
|
part allocation size can be computed, etc. However, there are quite many
|
|
|
|
|
call sites to change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another alternative is to wrap all allocations with a Duktape custom
|
|
|
|
|
header containing the buffer size. This is quite awkward.

There are about 30 ALLOC/REALLOC sizes in the code base, so not that many to
|
|
|
|
|
fix actually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The macros should take the "current size" argument but this probably should
|
|
|
|
|
not be provided to the user memory primitives. Instead, when using zeroing,
|
|
|
|
|
Duktape would use an intermediate function which zeroed the allocation and
|
|
|
|
|
then called the user function. When zeroing is not in use, the size argument
|
|
|
|
|
can be dropped during compilation so that call site size does not increase
|
|
|
|
|
unnecessarily.
