Detailed Description

Pool-based allocator.

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

This is a block-based memory allocator, with stack-like behavior (like the DataPool class). We do not allow freeing individual elements; instead, we support resetTo(p), which frees and all elements allocated after it (in this allocator). We also implement an iterator over the allocated blocks.

reserve()

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

overridevirtualinherited

Set the total number of elements cached by the allocator.

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.
