<hr/><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>pools have nested lifetimes -- sub_pools are destroyed when the parent pool is cleared. We allow certain liberties with operations on things such as tables (and on other structures in a more general sense) where we allow the caller to insert values into a table which were not allocated from the table's pool. The table's data will remain valid as long as all the pools from which its values are allocated remain valid.</p>
<p>For example, if B is a sub pool of A, and you build a table T in pool B, then it's safe to insert data allocated in A or B into T (because B lives at most as long as A does, and T is destroyed when B is cleared/destroyed). On the other hand, if S is a table in pool A, it is safe to insert data allocated in A into S, but it is *not safe* to insert data allocated from B into S... because B can be cleared/destroyed before A is (which would leave dangling pointers in T's data structures).</p>
<p>In general we say that it is safe to insert data into a table T if the data is allocated in any ancestor of T's pool. This is the basis on which the APR_POOL_DEBUG code works -- it tests these ancestor relationships for all data inserted into tables. APR_POOL_DEBUG also provides tools (apr_pool_find, and apr_pool_is_ancestor) for other folks to implement similar restrictions for their own data structures.</p>
<p>However, sometimes this ancestor requirement is inconvenient -- sometimes it's necessary to create a sub pool where the sub pool is guaranteed to have the same lifetime as the parent pool. This is a guarantee implemented by the *caller*, not by the pool code. That is, the caller guarantees they won't destroy the sub pool individually prior to destroying the parent pool.</p>
<p>In this case the caller must call <a class="el" href="group___pool_debug.html#gaecd956092f81c70117507ad8cbca8ea7">apr_pool_join()</a> to indicate this guarantee to the APR_POOL_DEBUG code.</p>
<p>These functions are only implemented when <a class="el" href="group__apr__pools.html#gad898431056ee6f544e0632f2cf5706c4">APR_POOL_DEBUG</a> is set. </p>
