Hello.
I see NSS code uses SECITEM_AllocItem() and PORT_Arena{,Z}Alloc() memory
allocation routines almost interchangeably.
I see that SECITEM_AllocItem(), basically, just wraps PORT_ArenaZAlloc() into the
"arena mark" brackets:
mark = PORT_ArenaMark( arena );
PORT_ArenaZAlloc( arena, ... )
PORT_ArenaUnmark(arena, mark) or PORT_ArenaRelease(arena, mark);
The "arena mark" brackets are not documented anywhere, thereby I can't decide,
which routine, SECITEM_AllocItem or PORT_Arena{,Z}Alloc, is best for me.
Could you, please, advice, which allocation routine (SECITEM_AllocItem or
PORT_Arena{,Z}Alloc) should I use for my particular code ?
Best regards,
