Hi,


I think I start understanding what's wrong.

Let me explain what I've done:

I have a ngx_http_mymodule_data_t struct which include this:
ngx_pool_t *regex_pool;

After initializing my data struct in shared memory, I do something like this:
my_data->regex_pool = ngx_create_pool(REGEX_POOL_SIZE, cycle->log);

Later, at regex compilation, I use this:
my_regex.pool = ((ngx_http_mymodule_data_t *)(sr_shm_zone->data))->regex_pool;

And if I understand correctly, the pool created by ngx_create_pool gets freed. Am I right ?

If so, is there a possibility to use a pool that would survive reload ?

Thanks,
Thierry

There are no pools in shared memory in nginx - except
ngx_slab_pool_t, which is quite different from normal memory
pools and cannot be used in ngx_regex_compile_t.
