Detailed Description

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef size_t ACE_Allocator::size_type

Unsigned integer type used for specifying memory block lengths.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Allocator::ACE_Allocator ( void  )

"No-op" constructor (needed to make certain compilers happy).

ACE_Allocator::~ACE_Allocator ( void  ) [virtual]

Virtual destructor.


Member Function Documentation

virtual int ACE_Allocator::bind ( const char *  name,
void *  pointer,
int  duplicates = 0 
) [pure virtual]

Associate name with pointer. If duplicates == 0 then do not allow duplicate name/pointer associations, else if duplicates != 0 then allow duplicate name/pointer associations. Returns 0 if successfully binds (1) a previously unbound name or (2) duplicates != 0, returns 1 if trying to bind a previously bound name and duplicates == 0, else returns -1 if a resource failure occurs.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual void* ACE_Allocator::calloc ( size_type  nbytes,
char  initial_value = '\0' 
) [pure virtual]
virtual void* ACE_Allocator::calloc ( size_type  n_elem,
size_type  elem_size,
char  initial_value = '\0' 
) [pure virtual]

Allocate <n_elem> each of size elem_size, giving them initial_value.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Dynamic_Cached_Allocator< ACE_LOCK >, ACE_Cached_Allocator< T, ACE_LOCK >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

void ACE_Allocator::close_singleton ( void  ) [static]

Delete the dynamically allocated Singleton.

virtual void ACE_Allocator::dump ( void  ) const [pure virtual]

Dump the state of the object.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::find ( const char *  name,
void *&  pointer 
) [pure virtual]

Locate name and pass out parameter via pointer. If found, return 0, returns -1 if failure occurs.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::find ( const char *  name) [pure virtual]

Returns 0 if the name is in the mapping. -1, otherwise.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual void ACE_Allocator::free ( void *  ptr) [pure virtual]
ACE_Allocator * ACE_Allocator::instance ( void  ) [static]

Get pointer to a default ACE_Allocator.

ACE_Allocator * ACE_Allocator::instance ( ACE_Allocator r) [static]

Set pointer to a process-wide ACE_Allocator and return existing pointer.

virtual void* ACE_Allocator::malloc ( size_type  nbytes) [pure virtual]
virtual int ACE_Allocator::protect ( ssize_t  len = -1,
int  prot = PROT_RDWR 
) [pure virtual]

Change the protection of the pages of the mapped region to prot starting at <this->base_addr_> up to len bytes. If len == -1 then change protection of all pages in the mapped region.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::protect ( void *  addr,
size_type  len,
int  prot = PROT_RDWR 
) [pure virtual]

Change the protection of the pages of the mapped region to prot starting at addr up to len bytes.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::remove ( void  ) [pure virtual]

Remove any resources associated with this memory manager.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::sync ( ssize_t  len = -1,
int  flags = MS_SYNC 
) [pure virtual]

Sync len bytes of the memory region to the backing store starting at this->base_addr_. If len == -1 then sync the whole region.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::sync ( void *  addr,
size_type  len,
int  flags = MS_SYNC 
) [pure virtual]

Sync len bytes of the memory region to the backing store starting at addr.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::trybind ( const char *  name,
void *&  pointer 
) [pure virtual]

Associate name with pointer. Does not allow duplicate name/pointer associations. Returns 0 if successfully binds (1) a previously unbound name, 1 if trying to bind a previously bound name, or returns -1 if a resource failure occurs. When this call returns pointer's value will always reference the void * that name is associated with. Thus, if the caller needs to use pointer (e.g., to free it) a copy must be maintained by the caller.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::unbind ( const char *  name) [pure virtual]

Unbind (remove) the name from the map. Don't return the pointer to the caller

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.

virtual int ACE_Allocator::unbind ( const char *  name,
void *&  pointer 
) [pure virtual]

Break any association of name. Returns the value of pointer in case the caller needs to deallocate memory.

Implemented in ACE_Allocator_Adapter< MALLOC >, ACE_Static_Allocator_Base, and ACE_New_Allocator.
