protobuf-c zero allocation

[Julien PONNOU]

Hello,

I'm using the C version of protobuf. I'm wondering if there is a way to not allocate memory dynamically to serialize/deserialize a message. In other words, is there a "ZERO ALLOCATION" method to use it ?

Best regards,

Julien.

You could use nanopb, which uses only static allocation:

Hello,

I've heard we can avoid dynamic allocation using a specific allocator instead of the default one. Does somebody have an example ?

Best regards,

Julien.

Hi,

This is the "protobuf" discussion group. For "protobuf-c", see:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/protobuf-c

In answer to your question, protobuf-c requires dynamic memory
allocation to deserialize a message. If you are trying to avoid memory
allocation, you may be interested in the "nanopb" implementation
instead:
