堆内存分配

[English]

栈 (stack) 和堆 (heap) 的区别

ESP-IDF 应用程序使用常见的计算机架构模式:由程序控制流动态分配的内存(即 )、由函数调用动态分配的内存(即 )以及在编译时分配的 静态内存

由于 ESP-IDF 是一个多线程 RTOS 环境,因此每个 RTOS 任务都有自己的栈,这些栈默认在创建任务时从堆中分配。有关栈静态分配的方法,请参阅 xTaskCreateStatic()

ESP32-C3 使用多种类型的 RAM,因此具备不同属性的堆,即基于属性的内存分配器允许应用程序按不同目的进行堆分配。

多数情况下,可直接使用 C 标准函数库中的 malloc()free() 函数实现堆分配。为充分利用各种内存类型及其特性,ESP-IDF 还具有基于内存属性的堆内存分配器。要配备具有特定属性的内存,如 DMA 存储器 或可执行内存,可以创建具备所需属性的 OR 掩码,将其传递给 heap_caps_malloc()

内存属性

ESP32-C3 包含多种类型的 RAM:

  • DRAM(数据 RAM)是连接到 CPU 数据总线上的内存,用于存储数据。这是作为堆访问最常见的一种内存。

  • IRAM(指令 RAM)是连接到 CPU 指令总线上的内存,通常仅用于存储可执行数据(即指令)。如果作为通用内存访问,则所有访问必须为 32 位可访问内存

  • D/IRAM 是连接到 CPU 数据总线和指令总线的 RAM,因此可用作指令 RAM 或数据 RAM。

有关内存类型的详细信息,请参阅 存储器类型

所有的 DRAM 内存都可以单字节访问,因此所有的 DRAM 堆都具有 MALLOC_CAP_8BIT 属性。要获取所有 DRAM 堆的剩余空间大小,请调用 heap_caps_get_free_size(MALLOC_CAP_8BIT)

调用 malloc() 时,ESP-IDF malloc() 内部调用 heap_caps_malloc_default(size),使用属性 MALLOC_CAP_DEFAULT 分配内存。该属性可实现字节寻址功能,即存储空间的最小编址单位为字节。

malloc() 使用基于属性的分配系统,所以使用 heap_caps_malloc() 分配的内存可以通过调用标准的 free() 函数释放。

可用堆空间

DRAM

启动时,DRAM 堆包含应用程序未静态分配的所有数据内存,减少静态分配的缓冲区将增加可用的空闲堆空间。

调用命令 idf.py size 可查找静态分配内存大小。

备注

运行时可用的 DRAM 堆空间可能少于编译时计算的大小,因为启动时会在运行 FreeRTOS 调度程序之前从堆中分配部分内存,包括初始 FreeRTOS 任务的栈内存。

IRAM

启动时,IRAM 堆包含所有应用程序可执行代码未使用的指令内存。

调用命令 idf.py size 查找应用程序使用的 IRAM 量。

D/IRAM

一些内存在 ESP32-C3 中可用作 DRAM 或 IRAM。如果从 D/IRAM 区域分配内存,则两种类型的内存的可用堆空间都会减少。

堆空间大小

启动时,所有 ESP-IDF 应用程序都会记录全部堆地址(和空间大小)的摘要,级别为 Info:

I (252) heap_init: Initializing. RAM available for dynamic allocation:
I (259) heap_init: At 3FFAE6E0 len 00001920 (6 KiB): DRAM
I (265) heap_init: At 3FFB2EC8 len 0002D138 (180 KiB): DRAM
I (272) heap_init: At 3FFE0440 len 00003AE0 (14 KiB): D/IRAM
I (278) heap_init: At 3FFE4350 len 0001BCB0 (111 KiB): D/IRAM
I (284) heap_init: At 4008944C len 00016BB4 (90 KiB): IRAM

查找可用堆

请参阅 堆内存信息

特殊用途

DMA 存储器

使用 MALLOC_CAP_DMA 标志分配适合与硬件 DMA 引擎(如 SPI 和 I2S)配合使用的内存,此属性标志不包括外部 PSRAM。

32 位可访问内存

如果某个内存结构体仅以 32 位为单位寻址,例如一个整数或指针数组,则可以使用 MALLOC_CAP_32BIT 标志分配。通过这一方式,分配器能够在无法调用 malloc() 的情况下提供 IRAM 内存,从而充分利用 ESP32-C3 中的所有可用内存。

请注意,使用 MALLOC_CAP_32BIT 分配的内存 只能 通过 32 位读写访问,其他类型的访问将导致 LoadStoreError 异常。

线程安全性

堆函数是线程安全的,因此可不受限制,在不同任务中同时调用多个堆函数。

从中断处理程序 (ISR) 上下文中调用 mallocfree 和相关函数虽然在技术层面可行(请参阅 从 ISR 调用堆相关函数),但不建议使用此种方法,因为调用堆函数可能会延迟其他中断。建议重构应用程序,将 ISR 使用的任何缓冲区预先分配到 ISR 之外。之后可能会删除从 ISR 调用堆函数的功能。

从 ISR 调用堆相关函数

堆组件中的以下函数可以在中断处理程序 (ISR) 中调用:

备注

不建议使用此种方法。

堆跟踪及调试

以下功能介绍详见 堆内存调试

实现说明

堆属性分配器对芯片内存区域的了解源于 SoC 组件,该组件包含芯片的内存布局信息以及每个区域的不同属性。各区域的功能为首要考虑因素,如会优先使用 DRAM 和 IRAM 特定区域而非用途更广的 D/IRAM 区域来分配内存。

每个连续的内存区域都包含其自己的内存堆,由 multi_heap 函数创建。 multi_heap 允许将任何连续的内存区域作为堆使用。

堆属性分配器通过对内存区域的了解初始化每个单独的堆,堆属性 API 中的分配函数将基于所需的属性、可用空间和每个区域使用的首选项为分配函数找到最合适的堆,随后为位于特定内存区域的堆调用 multi_heap_malloc()

调用 free() 查找对应释放地址的特定堆,随后在特定的 multi_heap 实例上调用 multi_heap_free()

In IDF, realloc(p, s) is equivalent to heap_caps_realloc(p, s, MALLOC_CAP_8BIT).

'caps' parameter can be different to the capabilities that any original 'ptr' was allocated with. In this way, realloc can be used to "move" a buffer if necessary to ensure it meets a new set of capabilities.

参数
  • ptr -- Pointer to previously allocated memory, or NULL for a new allocation.

  • size -- Size of the new buffer requested, or 0 to free the buffer.

  • caps -- Bitwise OR of MALLOC_CAP_* flags indicating the type of memory desired for the new allocation.

返回

Pointer to a new buffer of size 'size' with capabilities 'caps', or NULL if allocation failed.

void *heap_caps_aligned_alloc(size_t alignment, size_t size, uint32_t caps)

Allocate an aligned chunk of memory which has the given capabilities.

Equivalent semantics to libc aligned_alloc(), for capability-aware memory.

ptr -- Pointer to the memory allocated

void *heap_caps_aligned_calloc(size_t alignment, size_t n, size_t size, uint32_t caps)

Allocate an aligned chunk of memory which has the given capabilities. The initialized value in the memory is set to zero.

参数
  • alignment -- How the pointer received needs to be aligned must be a power of two

size_t heap_caps_get_free_size(uint32_t caps)

Get the total free size of all the regions that have the given capabilities.

This function takes all regions capable of having the given capabilities allocated in them and adds up the free space they have.

备注

Note that because of heap fragmentation it is probably not possible to allocate a single block of memory of this size. Use heap_caps_get_largest_free_block() for this purpose.

参数

caps -- Bitwise OR of MALLOC_CAP_* flags indicating the type of memory

返回

Amount of free bytes in the regions

size_t heap_caps_get_minimum_free_size(uint32_t caps)

Get the total minimum free memory of all regions with the given capabilities.

This adds all the low watermarks of the regions capable of delivering the memory with the given capabilities.

备注

Note the result may be less than the global all-time minimum available heap of this kind, as "low watermarks" are tracked per-region. Individual regions' heaps may have reached their "low watermarks" at different points in time. However, this result still gives a "worst case" indication for all-time minimum free heap.

返回

Size of the largest free block in bytes.

esp_err_t heap_caps_monitor_local_minimum_free_size_start(void)

esp_err_t heap_caps_monitor_local_minimum_free_size_stop(void)

Stop monitoring the value of minimum_free_bytes. After this call the minimum_free_bytes value calculated from startup will be returned in heap_caps_get_info and heap_caps_get_minimum_free_size.

返回

esp_err_t ESP_OK if the function executed properly ESP_FAIL if called when monitoring not active

void heap_caps_get_info(multi_heap_info_t *info, uint32_t caps)

Get heap info for all regions with the given capabilities.

Calls multi_heap_info() on all heaps which share the given capabilities. The information returned is an aggregate across all matching heaps. The meanings of fields are the same as defined for multi_heap_info_t, except that minimum_free_bytes has the same caveats described in heap_caps_get_minimum_free_size().

参数
  • info -- Pointer to a structure which will be filled with relevant heap metadata.

  • caps -- Bitwise OR of MALLOC_CAP_* flags indicating the type of memory

void heap_caps_print_heap_info(uint32_t caps)

bool heap_caps_check_integrity_all(bool print_errors)

Check integrity of all heap memory in the system.

Calls multi_heap_check on all heaps. Optionally print errors if heaps are corrupt.

Calling this function is equivalent to calling heap_caps_check_integrity with the caps argument set to MALLOC_CAP_INVALID.

备注

Please increase the value of CONFIG_ESP_INT_WDT_TIMEOUT_MS when using this API with PSRAM enabled.

参数

print_errors -- Print specific errors if heap corruption is found.

返回

True if all heaps are valid, False if at least one heap is corrupt.

bool heap_caps_check_integrity(uint32_t caps, bool print_errors)

Check integrity of all heaps with the given capabilities.

Calls multi_heap_check on all heaps which share the given capabilities. Optionally print errors if the heaps are corrupt.

See also heap_caps_check_integrity_all to check all heap memory in the system and heap_caps_check_integrity_addr to check memory around a single address.

备注

Please increase the value of CONFIG_ESP_INT_WDT_TIMEOUT_MS when using this API with PSRAM capability flag.

参数
  • caps -- Bitwise OR of MALLOC_CAP_* flags indicating the type of memory

  • print_errors -- Print specific errors if heap corruption is found.

返回

True if all heaps are valid, False if at least one heap is corrupt.

bool heap_caps_check_integrity_addr(intptr_t addr, bool print_errors)

Check integrity of heap memory around a given address.

This function can be used to check the integrity of a single region of heap memory, which contains the given address.

This can be useful if debugging heap integrity for corruption at a known address, as it has a lower overhead than checking all heap regions. Note that if the corrupt address moves around between runs (due to timing or other factors) then this approach won't work, and you should call heap_caps_check_integrity or heap_caps_check_integrity_all instead.

备注

The entire heap region around the address is checked, not only the adjacent heap blocks.

参数
  • addr -- Address in memory. Check for corruption in region containing this address.

  • print_errors -- Print specific errors if heap corruption is found.

返回

True if the heap containing the specified address is valid, False if at least one heap is corrupt or the address doesn't belong to a heap region.

void heap_caps_malloc_extmem_enable(size_t limit)

Enable malloc() in external memory and set limit below which malloc() attempts are placed in internal memory.

When external memory is in use, the allocation strategy is to initially try to satisfy smaller allocation requests with internal memory and larger requests with external memory. This sets the limit between the two, as well as generally enabling allocation in external memory.

参数

limit -- Limit, in bytes.

void *heap_caps_malloc_prefer(size_t size, size_t num, ...)

Allocate a chunk of memory as preference in decreasing order.

Attention

The variable parameters are bitwise OR of MALLOC_CAP_* flags indicating the type of memory. This API prefers to allocate memory with the first parameter. If failed, allocate memory with the next parameter. It will try in this order until allocating a chunk of memory successfully or fail to allocate memories with any of the parameters.

参数
  • size -- Size, in bytes, of the amount of memory to allocate

  • num -- Number of variable parameters

返回

A pointer to the memory allocated on success, NULL on failure

void *heap_caps_realloc_prefer(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t num, ...)

Reallocate a chunk of memory as preference in decreasing order.

参数
  • ptr -- Pointer to previously allocated memory, or NULL for a new allocation.

  • size -- Size of the new buffer requested, or 0 to free the buffer.

  • num -- Number of variable paramters

返回

Pointer to a new buffer of size 'size', or NULL if allocation failed.

void *heap_caps_calloc_prefer(size_t n, size_t size, size_t num, ...)

Allocate a chunk of memory as preference in decreasing order.

参数
  • n -- Number of continuing chunks of memory to allocate

  • size -- Size, in bytes, of a chunk of memory to allocate

  • num -- Number of variable paramters

返回

A pointer to the memory allocated on success, NULL on failure

void heap_caps_dump(uint32_t caps)

Dump the full structure of all heaps with matching capabilities.

Prints a large amount of output to serial (because of locking limitations, the output bypasses stdout/stderr). For each (variable sized) block in each matching heap, the following output is printed on a single line:

  • Block address (the data buffer returned by malloc is 4 bytes after this if heap debugging is set to Basic, or 8 bytes otherwise).

  • Data size (the data size may be larger than the size requested by malloc, either due to heap fragmentation or because of heap debugging level).

  • Address of next block in the heap.

  • If the block is free, the address of the next free block is also printed.

参数

caps -- Bitwise OR of MALLOC_CAP_* flags indicating the type of memory

void heap_caps_dump_all(void)

Dump the full structure of all heaps.

Covers all registered heaps. Prints a large amount of output to serial.

Output is the same as for heap_caps_dump.

size_t heap_caps_get_allocated_size(void *ptr)

Return the size that a particular pointer was allocated with.

备注

The app will crash with an assertion failure if the pointer is not valid.

参数

ptr -- Pointer to currently allocated heap memory. Must be a pointer value previously returned by heap_caps_malloc, malloc, calloc, etc. and not yet freed.

返回

Size of the memory allocated at this block.

Functions

void heap_caps_init(void)

Initialize the capability-aware heap allocator.

This is called once in the IDF startup code. Do not call it at other times.

void heap_caps_enable_nonos_stack_heaps(void)

Enable heap(s) in memory regions where the startup stacks are located.

On startup, the pro/app CPUs have a certain memory region they use as stack, so we cannot do allocations in the regions these stack frames are. When FreeRTOS is completely started, they do not use that memory anymore and heap(s) there can be enabled.

esp_err_t heap_caps_add_region(intptr_t start, intptr_t end)

Add a region of memory to the collection of heaps at runtime.

Most memory regions are defined in soc_memory_layout.c for the SoC, and are registered via heap_caps_init(). Some regions can't be used immediately and are later enabled via heap_caps_enable_nonos_stack_heaps().

Call this function to add a region of memory to the heap at some later time.

This function does not consider any of the "reserved" regions or other data in soc_memory_layout, caller needs to consider this themselves.

All memory within the region specified by start & end parameters must be otherwise unused.

The capabilities of the newly registered memory will be determined by the start address, as looked up in the regions specified in soc_memory_layout.c.

Use heap_caps_add_region_with_caps() to register a region with custom capabilities.

备注

Please refer to following example for memory regions allowed for addition to heap based on an existing region (address range for demonstration purpose only):

      Existing region: 0x1000 <-> 0x3000
      New region:      0x1000 <-> 0x3000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x1000 <-> 0x2000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x0000 <-> 0x1000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x3000 <-> 0x4000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x0000 <-> 0x2000 (NOT Allowed)
      New region:      0x0000 <-> 0x4000 (NOT Allowed)
      New region:      0x1000 <-> 0x4000 (NOT Allowed)
      New region:      0x2000 <-> 0x4000 (NOT Allowed)

参数
  • start -- Start address of new region.

  • end -- End address of new region.

返回

ESP_OK on success, ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if a parameter is invalid, ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND if the specified start address doesn't reside in a known region, or any error returned by heap_caps_add_region_with_caps().

esp_err_t heap_caps_add_region_with_caps(const uint32_t caps[], intptr_t start, intptr_t end)

Add a region of memory to the collection of heaps at runtime, with custom capabilities.

Similar to heap_caps_add_region(), only custom memory capabilities are specified by the caller.

备注

Please refer to following example for memory regions allowed for addition to heap based on an existing region (address range for demonstration purpose only):

      Existing region: 0x1000 <-> 0x3000
      New region:      0x1000 <-> 0x3000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x1000 <-> 0x2000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x0000 <-> 0x1000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x3000 <-> 0x4000 (Allowed)
      New region:      0x0000 <-> 0x2000 (NOT Allowed)
      New region:      0x0000 <-> 0x4000 (NOT Allowed)
      New region:      0x1000 <-> 0x4000 (NOT Allowed)
      New region:      0x2000 <-> 0x4000 (NOT Allowed)

参数
  • caps -- Ordered array of capability masks for the new region, in order of priority. Must have length SOC_MEMORY_TYPE_NO_PRIOS. Does not need to remain valid after the call returns.

  • start -- Start address of new region.

  • end -- End address of new region.

返回

  • ESP_OK on success

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG if a parameter is invalid

  • ESP_ERR_NO_MEM if no memory to register new heap.

  • ESP_ERR_INVALID_SIZE if the memory region is too small to fit a heap

  • ESP_FAIL if region overlaps the start and/or end of an existing region

  • p -- Pointer, must have been previously returned from multi_heap_malloc() or multi_heap_realloc() for the same heap.

返回

Size of the memory allocated at this block. May be more than the original size argument, due to padding and minimum block sizes.

multi_heap_handle_t multi_heap_register(void *start, size_t size)

Register a new heap for use.

This function initialises a heap at the specified address, and returns a handle for future heap operations.

There is no equivalent function for deregistering a heap - if all blocks in the heap are free, you can immediately start using the memory for other purposes.

参数
  • start -- Start address of the memory to use for a new heap.

  • size -- Size (in bytes) of the new heap.

返回

Handle of a new heap ready for use, or NULL if the heap region was too small to be initialised.

Returns the number of bytes available in the heap.

Equivalent to the total_free_bytes member returned by multi_heap_get_heap_info().

Note that the heap may be fragmented, so the actual maximum size for a single malloc() may be lower. To know this size, see the largest_free_block member returned by multi_heap_get_heap_info().

参数

heap -- Handle to a registered heap.

返回

Number of free bytes.

size_t multi_heap_minimum_free_size(multi_heap_handle_t heap)

Return the lifetime minimum free heap size.

Equivalent to the minimum_free_bytes member returned by multi_heap_get_info().

Returns the lifetime "low watermark" of possible values returned from multi_free_heap_size(), for the specified heap.

参数

heap -- Handle to a registered heap.

返回

Number of free bytes.

void multi_heap_get_info(multi_heap_handle_t heap, multi_heap_info_t *info)

Return metadata about a given heap.

Fills a multi_heap_info_t structure with information about the specified heap.

参数
  • heap -- Handle to a registered heap.

  • info -- Pointer to a structure to fill with heap metadata.

void *multi_heap_aligned_alloc_offs(multi_heap_handle_t heap, size_t size, size_t alignment, size_t offset)

Perform an aligned allocation from the provided offset.

参数
  • heap -- The heap in which to perform the allocation

  • size -- The size of the allocation

  • alignment -- How the memory must be aligned

  • offset -- The offset at which the alignment should start

返回

void* The ptr to the allocated memory

size_t multi_heap_reset_minimum_free_bytes(multi_heap_handle_t heap)

Reset the minimum_free_bytes value (setting it to free_bytes) and return the former value.

参数

heap -- The heap in which the reset is taking place

返回

size_t the value of minimum_free_bytes before it is reset

void multi_heap_restore_minimum_free_bytes(multi_heap_handle_t heap, const size_t new_minimum_free_bytes_value)

Set the value of minimum_free_bytes to new_minimum_free_bytes_value or keep the current value of minimum_free_bytes if it is smaller than new_minimum_free_bytes_value.

参数
  • heap -- The heap in which the restore is taking place

  • new_minimum_free_bytes_value -- The value to restore the minimum_free_bytes to

Structures

struct multi_heap_info_t

Structure to access heap metadata via multi_heap_get_info.

Public Members

size_t total_free_bytes

Total free bytes in the heap. Equivalent to multi_free_heap_size().

size_t total_allocated_bytes
