Hi, As demonstrated by odp/examples, libc memory allocation routines (malloc and friends) aren't been used by ODP apps (unless for a very tight temporary scope, usually in the control thread).
Application's data structures are allocated either using odp_buffer_pool interface (e.g. odp_ipsec.c allocating its private per packet context structure using a ODP_BUFFER_TYPE_RAW pool), or directly using odp_shm_reserve and managing it internally (e.g. odp_ipsec_fwd_db.c, odp_ipsec_sp_db.c etc). Questions: Must the application use ODP memory allocation interfaces at all times? Or only for data structures accessed at data-path routines? Or only when allocating them from within data-path routines? Any preference for when to use a ODP_BUFFER_TYPE_RAW pool vs. allocating a shared memory and managing data structures internally?
