[jira] [Created] (PROTON-135) Provide hooks in proton-c to allow
override of malloc/free for internal types
Ted Ross created PROTON-135:
-------------------------------
Summary: Provide hooks in proton-c to allow override of malloc/free for internal types
Key: PROTON-135
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-135
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: proton-c
Affects Versions: 0.2
Reporter: Ted Ross
It is desirable for engine applications (i.e. advanced developers) to be able to provide a custom memory management solution for data types used in proton.
I will follow up later with a proposal for how this might be done. My general thought is to allow an extension "plugin" to provide type-specific 'allocate' and 'free' functions.

Rafael H. Schloming commented on PROTON-135:
--------------------------------------------
Are there specific scenarios you're running into that need this? I'd like to understand more about how it would be used. I'm wary of exposing type-specific allocators as the internal types used by the engine can/will change, so exposing that would make for a fairly brittle API.
