SharedBorrowedRegion

A SharedBorrowedRegion allocates directly from a user-provided block of memory.

Unlike a SharedRegion, a SharedBorrowedRegion does not own the memory it allocates from and will not deallocate that memory upon destruction. Instead, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that the memory is properly disposed of.

In all other respects, a SharedBorrowedRegion behaves exactly like a SharedRegion.

Constructors

this
this(ubyte[] store)

Constructs a region backed by a user-provided store.

Members

Aliases

alignment
alias alignment = minAlign

Alignment offered.

Functions

alignedAllocate
void[] alignedAllocate(size_t n, uint a)

Allocates n bytes of memory aligned at alignment a.

allocate
void[] allocate(size_t n)

Allocates n bytes of memory. The allocation is served by atomically incrementing a pointer which keeps track of the current used space.

deallocate
bool deallocate(void[] b)

Deallocates b. This works only if b was obtained as the last call to allocate; otherwise (i.e. another allocation has occurred since) it does nothing.

deallocateAll
bool deallocateAll()

Deallocates all memory allocated by this region, which can be subsequently reused for new allocations.

empty
Ternary empty()

Returns Ternary.yes if no memory has been allocated in this region, Ternary.no otherwise. (Never returns Ternary.unknown.)

goodAllocSize
size_t goodAllocSize(size_t n)

Rounds the given size to a multiple of the alignment

owns
Ternary owns(void[] b)

Queries whether b has been allocated with this region.
