 FixedAllocator ()
 Create a FixedAllocator which manages blocks of 'blockSize' size.
 ~FixedAllocator ()
 Destroy the FixedAllocator and release all its Chunks.
void Initialize (std::size_t blockSize, std::size_t pageSize)
 Initializes a FixedAllocator by calculating # of blocks per Chunk.
void * Allocate (void)
bool Deallocate (void *p, Chunk *hint)
std::size_t BlockSize () const
 Returns block size with which the FixedAllocator was initialized.

Detailed Description

Offers services for allocating fixed-sized objects. It has a container of "containers" of fixed-size blocks. The outer container has all the Chunks. The inner container is a Chunk which owns some blocks.

Member Function Documentation

void * Loki::FixedAllocator::Allocate void   ) 
 

Returns pointer to allocated memory block of fixed size - or NULL if it failed to allocate.

std::size_t Loki::FixedAllocator::CountEmptyChunks void   )  const
 

Returns count of empty Chunks held by this allocator. Complexity is O(C) where C is the total number of Chunks - empty or used.

bool Loki::FixedAllocator::Deallocate void *  p,
Chunk hint
 

Deallocate a memory block previously allocated with Allocate. If the block is not owned by this FixedAllocator, it returns false so that SmallObjAllocator can call the default deallocator. If the block was found, this returns true.

const Chunk * Loki::FixedAllocator::HasBlock void *  p  )  const
 

Returns true if the block at address p is within a Chunk owned by this FixedAllocator. Complexity is O(C) where C is the total number of Chunks - empty or used.

bool Loki::FixedAllocator::IsCorrupt void   )  const
 

Determines if FixedAllocator is corrupt. Checks data members to see if any have erroneous values, or violate class invariants. It also checks if any Chunk is corrupt. Complexity is O(C) where C is the number of Chunks. If any data is corrupt, this will return true in release mode, or assert in debug mode.

bool Loki::FixedAllocator::TrimChunkList void   ) 
 

Releases unused spots from ChunkList. This takes constant time with respect to # of Chunks, but actual time depends on underlying memory allocator.

Returns:
False if no unused spots, true if some found and released.

bool Loki::FixedAllocator::TrimEmptyChunk void   ) 
 

Releases the memory used by the empty Chunk. This will take constant time under any situation.

Returns:
True if empty chunk found and released, false if none empty.
