virtual_memory_allocator Class Reference

Detailed Description

A stateless RawAllocator that allocates memory using the virtual memory allocation functions.

It does not prereserve any memory and will always reserve and commit combined.

Member Functions

allocate_node()

void * allocate_node	(	std::size_t	size,
		std::size_t	alignment )

Effects:

A RawAllocator allocation function. It uses virtual_memory_reserve followed by virtual_memory_commit for the allocation. The number of pages allocated will be the minimum to hold size continuous bytes, i.e. size will be rounded up to the next multiple. If debug fences are activated, one additional page before and after the memory will be allocated.

Returns:

A pointer to a node, it will never be nullptr. It will always be aligned on a fence boundary, regardless of the alignment parameter.

Throws:

An exception of type out_of_memory or whatever is thrown by its handler if the allocation fails.

deallocate_node()

void deallocate_node ( void * node, std::size_t size, std::size_t alignment )

noexcept

Effects:

A RawAllocator deallocation function. It calls virtual_memory_decommit followed by virtual_memory_release for the deallocation.

max_node_size()

std::size_t max_node_size ( ) const

noexcept

Returns:

The maximum node size by returning the maximum value.

max_alignment()

std::size_t max_alignment ( ) const

noexcept

Returns:

The maximum alignment which is the same as the virtual_memory_page_size.
