Detailed Description

Defines a class that provided a highly optimized memory management scheme for allocating memory statically.

This class manages a fixed-size <POOL_SIZE> of memory. Every time <malloc>/<calloc> is called, it simply moves an internal index forward and returns a pointer to the requested chunk. All memory is allocated statically (typically via the ACE_Static_Allocator template) and <free> is a no-op. This behavior is useful for use-cases where all the memory allocation needs are known in advance and no deletions ever occur.

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::bind	(	const char *	name,
		void *	pointer,
		int	duplicates = 0
	)			[virtual]

Associate name with pointer. If duplicates == 0 then do not allow duplicate name/pointer associations, else if duplicates != 0 then allow duplicate name/pointer assocations. Returns 0 if successfully binds (1) a previously unbound name or (2) duplicates != 0, returns 1 if trying to bind a previously bound name and duplicates == 0, else returns -1 if a resource failure occurs.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

void * ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::calloc	(	size_t	n_elem,
		size_t	elem_size,
		char	initial_value = '\0'
	)			[virtual]

Allocate <n_elem> each of size elem_size, giving them initial_value.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

void * ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::calloc	(	size_t	nbytes,
		char	initial_value = '\0'
	)			[virtual]

Allocate nbytes, giving them initial_value.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

void ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::dump

(

void

)

const [virtual]

Dump the state of the object.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::find

(

const char *

name

)

[virtual]

Returns 0 if the name is in the mapping. -1, otherwise.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::find	(	const char *	name,
		void *&	pointer
	)			[virtual]

Locate name and pass out parameter via pointer. If found, return 0, returns -1 if failure occurs.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

void ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::free

(

void *

ptr

)

[virtual]

Free <ptr> (must have been allocated by <ACE_Allocator::malloc>).

Implements ACE_Allocator.

void * ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::malloc

(

size_t

nbytes

)

[virtual]

Allocate nbytes, but don't give them any initial value.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::protect	(	void *	addr,
		size_t	len,
		int	prot = PROT_RDWR
	)			[virtual]

Change the protection of the pages of the mapped region to prot starting at addr up to len bytes.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::protect	(	ssize_t	len = -1,
		int	prot = PROT_RDWR
	)			[virtual]

Change the protection of the pages of the mapped region to prot starting at <this->base_addr_> up to len bytes. If len == -1 then change protection of all pages in the mapped region.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::remove

(

void

)

[virtual]

Remove any resources associated with this memory manager.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::sync	(	void *	addr,
		size_t	len,
		int	flags = MS_SYNC
	)			[virtual]

Sync len bytes of the memory region to the backing store starting at addr.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::sync	(	ssize_t	len = -1,
		int	flags = MS_SYNC
	)			[virtual]

Sync len bytes of the memory region to the backing store starting at this->base_addr_. If len == -1 then sync the whole region.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::trybind	(	const char *	name,
		void *&	pointer
	)			[virtual]

Associate name with pointer. Does not allow duplicate name/pointer associations. Returns 0 if successfully binds (1) a previously unbound name, 1 if trying to bind a previously bound name, or returns -1 if a resource failure occurs. When this call returns pointer's value will always reference the void * that name is associated with. Thus, if the caller needs to use pointer (e.g., to free it) a copy must be maintained by the caller.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::unbind	(	const char *	name,
		void *&	pointer
	)			[virtual]

Break any association of name. Returns the value of pointer in case the caller needs to deallocate memory.

Implements ACE_Allocator.

int ACE_Static_Allocator_Base::unbind

(

const char *

name

)

[virtual]

Unbind (remove) the name from the map. Don't return the pointer to the caller

Implements ACE_Allocator.
