talloc

talloc is a hierarchical pool based memory allocator with destructors. It is the core memory allocator used in Samba4, and has made a huge difference in many aspects of Samba4 development.

To get started with talloc, I would recommend you read the talloc guide.

Discussion and bug reports

talloc does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking system. For now, please use the samba-technical mailing list, and the Samba bugzilla bug tracking system.
