POBJ_FOREACH_SAFE_TYPE(PMEMobjpool *pop, TOID var, TOID nvar)

DESCRIPTION¶

The libpmemobj(7) container operations provide a mechanism that allows iteration through the internal object collection, either looking for a specific object, or performing a specific operation on each object of a given type. Software should not make any assumptions about the order of the objects in the internal object containers.

The pmemobj_first() function returns the first object from the pool.

The POBJ_FIRST() macro returns the first object from the pool of the type specified by TYPE.

The POBJ_FIRST_TYPE_NUM() macro returns the first object from the pool of the type specified by type_num.

The pmemobj_next() function returns the next object from the pool.

The POBJ_NEXT() macro returns the next object of the same type as the object referenced by oid.

The POBJ_NEXT_TYPE_NUM() macro returns the next object of the same type number as the object referenced by oid.

The following four macros provide a more convenient way to iterate through the internal collections, performing a specific operation on each object.

The POBJ_FOREACH() macro performs a specific operation on each allocated object stored in the persistent memory pool pop. It traverses the internal collection of all the objects, assigning a handle to each element in turn to varoid.

The POBJ_FOREACH_TYPE() macro performs a specific operation on each allocated object stored in the persistent memory pool pop that has the same type as var. It traverses the internal collection of all the objects of the specified type, assigning a handle to each element in turn to var.

The macros POBJ_FOREACH_SAFE() and POBJ_FOREACH_SAFE_TYPE() work in a similar fashion as POBJ_FOREACH() and POBJ_FOREACH_TYPE(), except that prior to performing the operation on the object, they preserve a handle to the next object in the collection by assigning it to nvaroid or nvar, respectively. This allows safe deletion of selected objects while iterating through the collection.

RETURN VALUE¶

pmemobj_first() returns the first object from the pool, or, if the pool is empty, OID_NULL.

pmemobj_next() returns the next object from the pool. If the object referenced by oid is the last object in the collection, or if oid is OID_NULL, pmemobj_next() returns OID_NULL.
