GCAllocator

Members

Functions

allocate

void[] allocate(size_t bytes)

deallocate

bool deallocate(void[] b)

expand

bool expand(void[] b, size_t delta)

goodAllocSize

size_t goodAllocSize(size_t n)

reallocate

bool reallocate(void[] b, size_t newSize)

resolveInternalPointer

Ternary resolveInternalPointer(void* p, void[] result)

Standard allocator methods per the semantics defined above. The deallocate and reallocate methods are @system because they may move memory around, leaving dangling pointers in user code.

Static variables

instance

GCAllocator instance;

Returns the global instance of this allocator type. The garbage collected allocator is thread-safe, therefore all of its methods and instance itself are shared.

Variables

alignment

enum uint alignment;

The alignment is a static constant equal to platformAlignment, which ensures proper alignment for any D data type.

auto buffer = GCAllocator.instance.allocate(1024 * 1024 * 4);
// deallocate upon scope's end (alternatively: leave it to collection)
scope(exit) GCAllocator.instance.deallocate(buffer);
//...
