any documentation on the point of having pools?

Is there any documentation anywhere that describes "why you would want to use pools"? I've been using APR for over a year now in virtually all of my projects, and I _still_ don't get what the advantage of this pool management that's strewn all over my programs is. I finally got fed up, wrote a C+

RE: cvs commit: apr/atomic/netware apr_atomic.c

I understand. How are the other platforms handling this issue then if they define APR_ATOMIC_NEED_DEFAULT = 0 and APR_ATOMIC_NEED_CAS_DEFAULT = 1? If they do this then some of the atomic operations are defined as macros to the native OS functions and the _cas operations are implemented as apr_ fu

RE: cvs commit: apr/atomic/netware apr_atomic.c

Thanks for the catch on the _inc instead of _dec. I copied and pasted the wrong function. Actually the only reason why I had to implement apr_atomic_dec was because of the return value. The NetWare implementation returns a void where apr_atomic_dec returns an int. Since atomic_dec() is a NetWar

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 hi. this wont work as you still have race conditions in the 2 functions you implented (the _dec and _cas) oh.. and the _dec looks like it is adding instead of subtracting is novell x86 only ? I'm thinking of just grabbing freeBSD's atomic implement
