I'm guessing that's the crux of your question. The answer is, yes you can and should use APR pools. The basic principle is, whenever you allocate something, you register a cleanup on the appropriate pool at the same time, typically with something like: foo = libfoo_alloc( ... ); apr_pool_cleanup_register(pool, foo, libfoo_free, apr_pool_cleanup_null); (add wrappers where necessary, etc) -- Nick Kew
