Hi again,

I'm wondering how you decide between this array and a linked-list. The memory waste seems to be quite significant and an arena based linked-list should be much more efficient?

Or could we use some realloc() method like I showed in my previous message? Then pushing new elements to an array could just grow the existing arena space if nothing else was allocated in between?

Thanks again,
Dennis

Hi,

I'm really enjoying the post about Arena based data structures. Great work - thanks!

I came up with this realloc method that I use for arena backed strings in a streaming context. Can you have a quick look if it makes sense?

void *realloc(Arena *a, void *ptr, size oldsz, size newsz, size align) {
  if (newsz <= oldsz) {
    return ptr;
  }

  if (a->beg - oldsz == ptr) {
    // pointer to realloc is the last element, we can simply grow it
    alloc(a, newsz - oldsz, align, 1, ARENA_NO_FLAGS);

Hi,

I don't have a patch but I quickly wanted to say thanks for developing senpai!

I've recently gotten back into IRC and first tried to setup irssi, as this was the client I remember using quite some years ago. ;-) However setting this up with chat.sr.ht and working like I wanted was quite difficult.
When I looked for alternatives I found senpai on the soju clients list. And the experience was great: smooth setup and working/looking exactly like I wanted. Great Job!

Cheers,
Dennis
