[libmicrohttpd] ITALY - memory pool (2)

[address@hidden]

Hi Christian,

 I read all the files of the trunk and indeed noticed that the malloc() 
function is called quite a few times.

I read your suggestion and I think that's a good point to start.



I see here a 2-step job.



First step: I want to compile and build MHD with MSVC without the GCC/Cygwin 
layer and have MHD running on Windows directly.



Second step: I have to port the MHD library on a generic embedded platform.  
What I would do is:

 - Replace all the POSIX calls in the code with function pointers

 - Write an MHD_config (mhd_conf_t  *conf) function, where the caller passes 
the address of the actual function



In this way the code can be compiled on any platform/compiler and we leave the 
end user to implement the actual functions.
In principle, one can replace the TCP/IP stack with a RS232 stack as a 
transport layer.

That's the way I did it when I ported the FreeDOS FAT 16 filesystem.


I see here also another smaller problem: the ordinary Windows user doesn't 
know how to build the code with Cygwin.
I would add a separate project file for MSVC.

What do you think?

Ciao,
Enrico
