Detailed Description

template<class T, class ALLOC>
class SG::ArenaHandle< T, ALLOC >

User interface for allocating memory.

See Arena.h for an overview of the arena-based memory allocators.

A Handle is the interface the application uses to allocate memory. A Handle is templated on the type being allocated as well as on the underlying Allocator. When a Handle is constructed, it is associated with the Allocator associated with the Arena that is current at that time (a new Allocator is automatically created if required). Therefore, a Handle should not be passed between threads, and Handle objects should not exist across any point where the current store/Arena may be changed.

This particular Handle implementation does not call element constructors, and calls destructors when elements are freed. The allocate method returns a void*, so you're expected to use it in a placement new. Here's an example of how you might create the Handle and allocate memory:

SG::ArenaHandle<MyObj, SG::ArenaPoolAllocator> handle;

MyObj* obj = new (handle.allocate()) (...);

This associates the Handle with the default ArenaHeader. You can then erase all objects allocated though this Handle in the current Allocator with

handle.reset();

The destructors for the allocated objects will be called at that time.

Note that most of the public interface for this class is inherited from the base classes.

Be aware that a handle holds a lock on the underlying allocator. Therefore, if you try to create two handle instances referencing the same allocator (i.e, same type and same thread), you'll get a deadlock.

Member Function Documentation

◆ allocate()

template<class T , class ALLOC >

void* SG::ArenaHandle< T, ALLOC >::allocate ( )

Allocate a new element.

The element's constructor will not have been called; thus, the memory is returned as a void*.

◆ allocator() [1/2]

template<typename ALLOC >

ALLOC* SG::ArenaHandleBaseAllocT< ALLOC >::allocator ( )

protectedinherited

Return our current Allocator.

◆ allocator() [2/2]

template<typename ALLOC >

const ALLOC* SG::ArenaHandleBaseAllocT< ALLOC >::allocator ( ) const

protectedinherited

Return our current Allocator.

◆ baseAllocator() [1/2]

ArenaAllocatorBase* SG::ArenaHandleBase::baseAllocator ( )

protectedinherited

Return the current Allocator which we are referencing.

This may cause a new Allocator to be created.

◆ baseAllocator() [2/2]

const ArenaAllocatorBase* SG::ArenaHandleBase::baseAllocator ( ) const

protectedinherited

Return the current Allocator which we are referencing.

This may cause a new Allocator to be created.

◆ begin() [1/2]

template<class T , class ALLOC >

iterator SG::ArenaHandleBaseT< T, ALLOC >::begin ( )

inherited

Starting iterator.

This will iterate over all allocated elements (in unspecified order). It is at least a forward_iterator. This may only be instantiated if the underlying Allocator supports iterators.

◆ begin() [2/2]

template<class T , class ALLOC >

const_iterator SG::ArenaHandleBaseT< T, ALLOC >::begin ( ) const

inherited

Starting const iterator.

This will iterate over all allocated elements (in unspecified order). It is at least a forward_iterator. This may only be instantiated if the underlying Allocator supports iterators.

◆ end() [1/2]

template<class T , class ALLOC >

iterator SG::ArenaHandleBaseT< T, ALLOC >::end ( )

inherited

Ending iterator.

This may only be instantiated if the underlying Allocator supports iterators.

◆ end() [2/2]

template<class T , class ALLOC >

const_iterator SG::ArenaHandleBaseT< T, ALLOC >::end ( ) const

inherited

Ending const iterator.

This may only be instantiated if the underlying Allocator supports iterators.

◆ erase()

void SG::ArenaHandleBase::erase ( )

inherited

Free all allocated elements and release memory back to the system (of this type in the current Arena).

All elements allocated in the current Arena by our associated Allocator are freed, and all allocated blocks of memory are released back to the system. destructor should be called on them if it was provided (preceded by clear if provided and mustClear was set).

Definition at line 87 of file ArenaHandleBase.cxx.

 {
   return baseAllocator()->erase();
 }

◆ free()

template<class T , class ALLOC >

void SG::ArenaHandleBaseT< T, ALLOC >::free ( pointer p )

inherited

Free an element.

Parameters

p	The element to be freed.

clear() will be called on the element at this point, if it has been defined.

This may only be instantiated if it's supported by the underlying Allocator.

◆ makeAllocator()

template<class T , class ALLOC >

static std::unique_ptr<ArenaAllocatorBase> SG::ArenaHandle< T, ALLOC >::makeAllocator ( const typename ALLOC::Params & params )

static

Internal helper: create a new Allocator instance.

Parameters

params The parameters for the Allocator.

◆ makeIndex()

template<typename ALLOC >

template<class HANDLE , class DEFPARAMS >

static size_t SG::ArenaHandleBaseAllocT< ALLOC >::makeIndex ( const typename ALLOC::Params * params )

staticprotectedinherited

Find the index for creating an allocator.

Parameters

params Pointer to the supplied parameters. If null, use the result of DEFPARAMS().

We look up in the registry the Allocator name we get from params (if this is blank, a name is derived from ALLOC). If not found, then we register Allocator and return the new index.

◆ params()

template<typename ALLOC >

const ALLOC::Params& SG::ArenaHandleBaseAllocT< ALLOC >::params ( ) const

inherited

Return our Allocator's parameters.

◆ reserve()

void SG::ArenaHandleBase::reserve ( size_t size )

inherited

Set the total number of elements cached by the allocator (in the current Arena).

Parameters

size	The desired pool size.

This allows changing the number of elements that are currently free but cached. Any allocated elements are not affected by this call.

If size is greater than the total number of elements currently cached, then more will be allocated. This will preferably done with a single block, but that is not guaranteed; in addition, the allocator may allocate more elements than is requested.

If size is smaller than the total number of elements currently cached, as many blocks as possible will be released back to the system. It may not be possible to release the number of elements requested; this should be implemented on a best-effort basis.

Definition at line 111 of file ArenaHandleBase.cxx.

 {
   return baseAllocator()->reserve (size);
 }

◆ reset()

void SG::ArenaHandleBase::reset ( )

inherited

Free all allocated elements (of this type in the current Arena).

All elements allocated in the current Arena by our associated Allocator are returned to the free state. clear should be called on them if it was provided. The elements may continue to be cached internally, without returning to the system.

Definition at line 71 of file ArenaHandleBase.cxx.

 {
   return baseAllocator()->reset();
 }

◆ resetTo()

template<class T , class ALLOC >

void SG::ArenaHandleBaseT< T, ALLOC >::resetTo ( pointer p )

inherited

Reset pool back to a previous state.

Parameters

p	The pointer back to which to reset.

This will free (a la reset) the element p and all elements that have been allocated after it from this allocator.

This may only be instantiated if it's supported by the underlying Allocator.

◆ stats()

ArenaAllocatorBase::Stats SG::ArenaHandleBase::stats ( ) const

inherited

Return the statistics block for this allocator, for the current Arena.

Definition at line 121 of file ArenaHandleBase.cxx.

 {
   return baseAllocator()->stats();
 }
