MonoAllocator::Chunk Struct Reference

#include <monoallocator.hpp>

Collaboration diagram for MonoAllocator::Chunk:

Class Description

---

Internal type defining an allocated chunk of memory. The allocation space is found behind this object itself as it is placed at the start of each allocated chunk.

Definition at line 101 of file monoallocator.hpp.

Public Fields
char *	act
	Pointer to the free space in the chunk.
char *	end
	Pointer to the first byte behind the chunk.
Chunk *	previous
	the previously allocated chunk.

Public Static Methods
static ALIB_FORCE_INLINE Chunk *	create (size_t size)

Public Methods
	Chunk ()=default
template<size_t requestedSize, size_t alignment>
ALIB_FORCE_INLINE char *	alloc ()
ALIB_FORCE_INLINE char *	alloc (size_t requestedSize, size_t alignment)
void	destruct ()
void	reset ()

Member Function Documentation

alloc() [1/2]

ALIB_FORCE_INLINE char* alloc ( )

inline

---

Templated version of alloc(size_t, size_t). Used with sizes and alignment known at compile-time.

Template Parameters

requestedSize	The size to allocate.
alignment	The necessary alignment.

Returns

nullptr on failure, otherwise pointer to the requested memory.

Definition at line 188 of file monoallocator.hpp.

alloc() [2/2]

ALIB_FORCE_INLINE char* alloc ( size_t  requestedSize, size_t  alignment  )

inline

---

Returns a pointer to an aligned piece of memory of the requested size inside this chunk. If there is not enough space left, nullptr is returned.

Parameters

requestedSize	The size to allocate.
alignment	The necessary alignment.

Returns

nullptr on failure, otherwise pointer to the requested memory.

Definition at line 166 of file monoallocator.hpp.

create()

static ALIB_FORCE_INLINE Chunk* create ( size_t  size )

inlinestatic

---

Allocates a chunk of memory of a size so that an instance of this class as well as the desired minimum size minSize plus alignment bytes are all fitting in.

This memory is not freed with a destructor. Instead, the allocated chunk that objects of this type reside in has to be deleted by invoking method destruct.

Parameters

size	The minimum size (of the usable part) of the chunk of memory allocate, taking the maximum possible alignment space into account.

Returns

An new allocated and internally linked chunk of memory.

Definition at line 121 of file monoallocator.hpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

destruct()

void destruct ( )

inline

---

Deletes the allocated chunk and with it, this object itself.

Definition at line 141 of file monoallocator.hpp.

reset()

void reset ( )

inline

---

"Frees" all allocated memory, by simply resetting the fill marker of the this chunk to the first usable byte of the allocated chunk.

Definition at line 150 of file monoallocator.hpp.
