MemoryUse

Description:

[ CCode ( cprefix = "SOUP_MEMORY_" , type_id = "soup_memory_use_get_type ()" ) ]
public enum MemoryUse

Describes how Buffer should use the data passed in by the caller.

See also Buffer.with_owner, which allows to you create a buffer containing data which is owned by another object.


Namespace: Soup
Package: libsoup-2.4

Content:

Enum values:

  • COPY - The passed-in data belongs to the caller; the Buffer will copy it into new memory, leaving the caller free to reuse the original memory.
  • STATIC - The memory is statically allocated and constant; libsoup can use the passed-in buffer directly and not need to worry about it being modified or freed.
  • TAKE - The caller has allocated the memory for the Buffer's use; libsoup will assume ownership of it and free it (with g_free) when it is done with it.
  • TEMPORARY - The passed-in data belongs to the caller, but will remain valid for the lifetime of the Buffer.
