内存池是一种静态的内存管理方法。它预先将一块固定连续的内存区域划分成几个大小不同的块。使用者申请时就将对应大小的内存块给他。这种方法的优点是不会有内存碎片，但不够灵活，适用于需要频繁存取的场合，例如buffer。
这个例子有两个线程。thread1不停分配内存块，但其中并没有使用delay() 来使自己挂起，所以thread2 由于优先级低于 thread1 而一直得不到运行。thread1 分配完所有内存块以后，又试着再取得一个内存块，由于内存块已经被分配完，所以thread1 会因为得不到资源而被挂起。此时thread2 开始运行，释放内存块，释放了一个以后，thread1 的等待条件满足而执行了一次，然后thread2 继续运行直至结束。
程序：
#include <rtthread.h>
static rt_uint8_t *ptr[48];
static rt_uint8_t mempool[4096];
static struct rt_mempool mp;
static rt_thread_t tid1 = RT_NULL;
static rt_thread_t tid2 = RT_NULL;
static void thread1_entry(void* parameter)
{
int i,j = 1;
char *block;
while(j--)
{
for (i = 0; i < 48; i++)
{
/* 申请内存块 */
rt_kprintf("allocate No.%d\n", i);
if (ptr[i] == RT_NULL)
{
ptr[i] = rt_mp_alloc(&mp, RT_WAITING_FOREVER);
}
}
/* 继续申请一个内存块，因为已经没有内存块，线程应该被挂起 */
block = rt_mp_alloc(&mp, RT_WAITING_FOREVER);
rt_kprintf("allocate the block mem\n");
/* 释放这个内存块 */
rt_mp_free(block);
block = RT_NULL;
}
}
static void thread2_entry(void *parameter)
{
int i,j = 1;
while(j--)
{
rt_kprintf("try to release block\n");
for (i = 0 ; i < 48; i ++)
{
/* 释放所有分配成功的内存块 */
if (ptr[i] != RT_NULL)
{
rt_kprintf("release block %d\n", i);
rt_mp_free(ptr[i]);
ptr[i] = RT_NULL;
}
}
/* 休眠10个OS Tick */
rt_thread_delay(10);
}
}
int rt_application_init()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 48; i ++) ptr[i] = RT_NULL;
/* 初始化内存池对象 ,每块分配的大小为80，但是另外还有大小为4的控制头，所以实际大小为84*/
rt_mp_init(&mp, "mp1", &mempool[0], sizeof(mempool), 80);
/* 创建线程1 */
tid1 = rt_thread_create("t1",
thread1_entry, RT_NULL, 512, 8, 10);
if (tid1 != RT_NULL)
rt_thread_startup(tid1);
/* 创建线程2 */
tid2 = rt_thread_create("t2",
thread2_entry, RT_NULL, 512, 9, 10);
if (tid2 != RT_NULL)
rt_thread_startup(tid2);
return 0;
