They operate much faster than the dynamically allocated heap and do not suffer from fragmentation. Being thread-safe, they can be accessed from threads and ISRs alike. A Memory Pool can be seen as a linked list of available (unused) memory blocks of fixed and equal size. Allocating memory from a pool (using \ref osMemoryPoolAlloc) simply unchains a block from the list and hands over control to the user. Freeing memory to the pool (using \ref osMemoryPoolFree) simply rechains the block into the list. \image html "mempool.png" "CMSIS-RTOS Memory Pools" \note One must not write to freed block. It is up to the implementation to reuse the memory of unused blocks for internal control data, i.e. linked list pointers. \b Shared \b memory is one of the basic models to exchange information between threads. Using memory pools for exchanging data, you can share more complex objects between threads if compared to a \ref CMSIS_RTOS_Message. Memory pool management functions are used to define and manage such fixed-sized memory pools. \note The functions \ref osMemoryPoolAlloc, \ref osMemoryPoolFree, \ref osMemoryPoolGetCapacity, \ref osMemoryPoolGetBlockSize, \ref osMemoryPoolGetCount, \ref osMemoryPoolGetSpace can be called from \ref CMSIS_RTOS_ISR_Calls "Interrupt Service Routines". @{ */ /*=======0=========1=========2=========3=========4=========5=========6=========7=========8=========9=========0=========1====*/ /** \typedef osMemoryPoolId_t \details Returned by: - \ref osMemoryPoolNew */ /** \struct osMemoryPoolAttr_t \details Attributes to configure a memory pool.
