如何与BOEHM GC一起使用ASPRINTF？

Question

据我所知，Asprintf致电Malloc。如果我用Boehm GC替换Malloc，那么ASPRINTF的电话仍然称为传统Malloc-至少这就是Valgrind告诉我的：

这是malloc宏：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

#include <gc.h>
#define malloc(n)    GC_MALLOC(n)
#define calloc(m,n)  GC_MALLOC((m)*(n))
#define realloc(p,n) GC_REALLOC((p),(n))

typedef char * string;

这是Valgrind报告：

这是Malloc呼叫来自的代码：

static string printInt(Object self) {
  string str;
  asprintf(&str, "%lu", getValueInt(self));
  return str;
}

解决方法可能是使用ASPRINTF，然后使用Malloc复制它，以便使用Malloc宏代替原始函数：

static string printInt(Object self) {
  string tmp;
  string str;

  asprintf(&tmp, "%lu", getValueInt(self));
  str = calloc(sizeof(string), strlen(tmp) + 1);

  strcpy(str, tmp);
  free(tmp);

  return str;
}

这似乎很愚蠢 - 它涉及一堆不必要的复制，也恰好是代码眼睛的IHMO。因此，是否有一种安全的方法使用ASPRINTF和其他系统库，这些库可能在仍在使用BOEHM GC时可以调用本机Malloc？我应该使用ASPRINTF的替代方案吗？

Answer 1

snprintf 返回如果提供的缓冲区足够大，那将写的字符数量。您可以两次调用此方法（一次获得正确的缓冲尺寸，然后再用足够大以获得输出的缓冲区），但是，这可能比仅复制的输出效率不那么效率 asprintf 进入可收集的缓冲区。这是一个示例，其中包含代码，该代码分配了足够大的缓冲区，以包含32位系统的无符号长度的最大值。在没有足够空间的系统上，缓冲区将重新分配和重新格式化。

#include <limits.h>

...

unsigned long intValue = getValueInt(self);
size_t maxLength = 11; // heuristic
char *buf = malloc(maxLength);

int result = snprintf(buf, maxLength, "%lu", intValue);
if (result > maxLength)
{
    // shouldn't ever get here, but just in case the buffer is too small
    // we reallocate it to the correct size and try again.
    buf = malloc(result);
    snprintf(buf, result, "%lu", intValue);
}

return buf;

根据 这一页, ，您可以使用

-DREDIRECT_MALLOC=GC_malloc -DIGNORE_FREE

应该 拦截电话 到Asprintf中的Malloc。 NB：没有尝试过。
