To: current@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 7 Dec 1999 19:11:39 +0100 (CET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL61 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, i was wondering if there is any place in the kernel with functions to implement a "heap" data structure. I would expect so, as typically this structure is used wherever we need to do some kind of scheduling, but i am not sure on where to look... Ideas ? (for those who wonder why I ask -- i redesigning dummynet so it handles more efficiently large numbers of pipes, and while i have rewritten the heap management code, i was wondering if i am not duplicating existing funcionality.) cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
