---------------------------------

             Summary: Add / modify APIs to allow easy freelist allocation of iobuffer's from C/C++ plugins
                 Key: TS-2581
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2581
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: TS API
            Reporter: Leif Hedstrom


This would allow for efficient allocations in plugins, such that they can do an in-place new() on a chunk of memory (iobuffer). 

The API / features should make it easy and possible to asks for an iobuffer of at least size <x>. It can return a bigger one, at which point, you'd waste some. But this allows us to reuse / repurpose the existing iobuffer allocation.

Phil points out that there are existing iobuffer allocation APIs, so maybe something in conjunction with that is appropriate. I would like for this to be easy on the plugin user though, such that it's as simple as "malloc/free" chains.
