duk_free_function free_func,
void *heap_udata,
duk_fatal_function fatal_handler);
summary: |
<p>Create a new Duktape heap and return an initial context (thread).
If heap initialization fails, a <code>NULL</code> is returned. There is
currently no way to obtain more detailed error information.</p>
<p>The caller may provide custom memory management functions in
<code>alloc_func</code>, <code>realloc_func</code>, and <code>free_func</code>;
the pointers must either all be <code>NULL</code> or all be
non-<code>NULL</code>. If the pointers are <code>NULL</code>, default
memory management functions (ANSI C <code>malloc()</code>, <code>realloc()</code>
, and <code>free()</code>) are used. The memory management functions
share the same opaque userdata pointer, <code>heap_udata</code>. This
userdata pointer is also used for other Duktape features like fatal error
handling and low memory pointer compression macros.</p>
<p>A fatal error handler is provided in <code>fatal_handler</code>. This
handler is called in unrecoverable error situations such as uncaught
errors, out-of-memory errors not resolved by garbage collection, self test
errors, etc. A caller SHOULD implement a fatal error handler in most
applications. If not given, a default fatal error handler built into
Duktape is used instead. <b>Note that the default fatal error handler (unless
overridden by <code>duk_config.h</code>) causes an intentional segfault to
exit a process to avoid relying on platform API calls like abort().</b> See
<a href="http://wiki.duktape.org/HowtoFatalErrors.html">How to handle fatal errors</a>
for more detail and examples.</p>
<p>To create a Duktape heap with default settings, use
<code><a href="#duk_create_heap_default">duk_create_heap_default()</a></code>.</p>
<p>New contexts linked to the same heap can be created with
<code><a href="#duk_push_thread">duk_push_thread()</a></code> and
<code><a href="#duk_push_thread_new_globalenv">duk_push_thread_new_globalenv()</a></code>.</p>
example: |
/*
* Simple case: use default allocation functions and fatal error handler
*/
duk_context *ctx = duk_create_heap(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
if (ctx) {
/* success */
} else {
/* error */
}
/*
* Customized handlers
*/
duk_context *ctx = duk_create_heap(my_alloc, my_realloc, my_free,
(void *) 0xdeadbeef, my_fatal);
if (ctx) {
/* success */
/* ... after heap is no longer needed: */
duk_destroy_heap(ctx);
} else {
/* error */
