c - LuaJIT pointers and Garbage Collection -


i trying understand luajit's garbage collector handle ffi , have manage manually sure no leakage.

reading luajit ffi semantics docs garbage collector following assertions true?:

  1. if array allocated using ffi.new('float[?]',n) gc can track references , collect necessary?
  2. using ffi.malloc(sizeof('float[n]')) must manually handled such ffi.free or provide "finalizer" such local p = ffi.gc(ffi.malloc(sizeof('float[n]')), ffi.free)?

  3. if library loaded ffi.load contained function float * example(void); , library loaded namespace ex in

    local ptr=ex.example()

    ptr storing pointer , when no references ptr exist, gc collect ptr , memory leaked?

  4. ffi.gc(ptr, ffi.free) lets garbage collector know ptr indeed pointer , memory points can reclaimed when ptr has no references?

in saying

memory areas returned c functions (e.g. malloc()) must manually managed, of course (or use ffi.gc()). pointers cdata objects indistinguishable pointers returned c functions (which 1 of reasons why gc cannot follow them).

is meant though namespace c library functions given ffi in knows return value pointer, garbage collection cannot act autonomously performing (4)?

what meant mike pall when says

"but if function [ffi.gc()] compiled ... gc have call finalizer eventually, costly."

is referring function call ffi.free in case? if so, how ffi.new around overhead?

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...

php - Cannot override Laravel Spark authentication with own implementation -

during login process of laravel spark need request token of remote api. api stores exact same users , passwords laravel spark application. therefore need username , non hashed password of user during authentication process. i thought overriding authenticated method solution problem. in routes/web.php override post /login endpoint , pointing endpoint own logincontroller: <?php namespace app\http\controllers\auth; use illuminate\support\facades\log; use illuminate\http\request; use laravel\spark\http\controllers\auth\logincontroller sparklogincontroller; class logincontroller extends sparklogincontroller { /** * create new login controller instance. * * @return void */ public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } /** * handle successful authentication attempt. * * @param request $request * @param \illuminate\contracts\auth\authenticatable $user * @return response */ public fu...
