out_of_fixed_memory Class Reference

Detailed Description

A special case of out_of_memory errors thrown when a low-level allocator with a fixed size runs out of memory.

For example, thrown by fixed_block_allocator or static_allocator.
It is derived from out_of_memory but does not provide its own handler.

Typedefs
using	handler = void(*)(const allocator_info &info, std::size_t amount)
	The type of the handler called in the constructor of out_of_memory.

Static Functions
static handler	set_handler (handler h)
static handler	get_handler ()

Typedefs

handler

using handler = void (*)(const allocator_info& info, std::size_t amount)

inherited

The type of the handler called in the constructor of out_of_memory.

When an out of memory situation is encountered and the exception class created, this handler gets called. It is especially useful if exception support is disabled. It gets the allocator_info and the amount of memory that was tried to be allocated.

Required Behavior:

It can log the error, throw a different exception derived from std::bad_alloc or abort the program. If it returns, this exception object will be created and thrown.

Default Behavior:

On a hosted implementation it logs the error on stderr and continues execution, leading to this exception being thrown. On a freestanding implementation it does nothing.

Note

It is different from std::new_handler; it will not be called in a loop trying to allocate memory or something like that. Its only job is to report the error.

Constructors

out_of_fixed_memory()

out_of_fixed_memory	(	const allocator_info &	info,
		std::size_t	amount
	)

Effects:

Just forwards to out_of_memory.

Member Functions

what()

const char * what ( ) const

overridenoexcept

Returns:

A static NTBS that describes the error. It does not contain any specific information since there is no memory for formatting.

set_handler()

static handler set_handler ( handler  h )

staticinherited

Effects:

Sets h as the new handler in an atomic operation. A nullptr sets the default handler.

Returns:

The previous handler. This is never nullptr.

get_handler()

static handler get_handler ( )

staticinherited

Returns:

The current handler. This is never nullptr.

allocator()

const allocator_info & allocator ( ) const

noexceptinherited

Returns:

The allocator_info passed to it in the constructor.

failed_allocation_size()

std::size_t failed_allocation_size ( ) const

noexceptinherited

Returns:

The amount of memory that was tried to be allocated. This is the value passed in the constructor.
