## Macro Definition Documentation

## ◆ LWIP_MEMPOOL_ALLOC

#define LWIP_MEMPOOL_ALLOC | ( |  | name | ) | memp_malloc_pool(&memp_ ## name)

Allocate from a private memory pool

## ◆ LWIP_MEMPOOL_DECLARE

#define LWIP_MEMPOOL_DECLARE | ( |  | name,
|  |  | num,
|  |  | size,
|  |  | desc
| ) |  |

Declare a private memory pool Private mempools example: .h: only when pool is used in multiple .c files: LWIP_MEMPOOL_PROTOTYPE(my_private_pool); .c:

- in global variables section: LWIP_MEMPOOL_DECLARE(my_private_pool, 10, sizeof(foo), "Some description")
- call ONCE before using pool (e.g. in some init() function): LWIP_MEMPOOL_INIT(my_private_pool);
- allocate: void* my_new_mem = LWIP_MEMPOOL_ALLOC(my_private_pool);
- free: LWIP_MEMPOOL_FREE(my_private_pool, my_new_mem);

To relocate a pool, declare it as extern in cc.h. Example for GCC: extern u8_t __attribute__((section(".onchip_mem"))) memp_memory_my_private_pool_base[];

## ◆ LWIP_MEMPOOL_FREE

#define LWIP_MEMPOOL_FREE | ( |  | name,
|  |  | x
| ) |  | memp_free_pool(&memp_ ## name, (x))

Free element from a private memory pool

## ◆ LWIP_MEMPOOL_INIT

#define LWIP_MEMPOOL_INIT | ( |  | name | ) | memp_init_pool(&memp_ ## name)

Initialize a private memory pool

## ◆ LWIP_MEMPOOL_PROTOTYPE

#define LWIP_MEMPOOL_PROTOTYPE | ( |  | name | ) | extern const struct memp_desc memp_ ## name

Declare prototype for private memory pool if it is used in multiple files
