Feature Request: Custom allocator with userdata #958

Open Asmod4n opened 3 years ago

Asmod4n commented 3 years ago

Hello :)

I would like to have a way to plug a custom allocator with userdata. mrubys allocator functions require one more argument than normal allocators so they can run the mruby gargabe collector.

Hi, sorry for the delay.

What user data would you be looking for? Would context->privdata suffice or do you mean a different mechanism?

It's simple enough to add an extra parameter but the trick will be doing it in a way that doesn't break backward compatibility.

Anything would be good, just something the allocator can access in a hiredis context.

One sadly cannot just declare a global variable to hold that information because mruby can be started more than once per process.
