alib::monomem Namespace Reference

Description:

This ALib Module implements the concept of "monotonic allocation" by providing the central classes TMonoAllocator and TPoolAllocator.

GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR

ALIB_API MonoAllocator GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR

extern

This is the global monotonic allocator singleton instance. It's initial size defaults to \ 128 kilobytes. This can be tweaked by performing a placement-new on this instance before bootstrapping ALib.

GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR_LOCK

ALIB_API RecursiveLock GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR_LOCK

extern

This mutex is used to protect the GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR from racing conditions in multithreaded software.
If compiler symbol ALIB_DEBUG_CRITICAL_SECTIONS is set, this lock will be attached to the DbgCriticalSections instance in GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR during bootstrap. Thus, an assertion will be raised if the GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR is used without locking this mutex.
This is a recursive lock. This allows using the high-level allocation interface with allocations, which constructs objects. These objects might recursively use the global allocator for their members.
