Member Function Documentation

void* JLANG::JAllocatorBuffer::allocate ( const std::size_t  block_size )

inline

Allocate memory.

Parameters

block_size

number of bytes

Returns

pointer to available memory

Definition at line 65 of file JAllocator.hh.

    {
      unsigned char* p = buffer + firstAvailableBlock * block_size;

      firstAvailableBlock = ((JBlock_t&) *p);

      --numberOfFreeBlocks;

      return p;
    }

void JLANG::JAllocatorBuffer::free ( void *  p, const std::size_t  block_size  )

inline

Deallocate memory.

Parameters

p	pointer to memory to be freed
block_size	number of bytes

Definition at line 83 of file JAllocator.hh.

    {
      unsigned char* q = static_cast<unsigned char*>(p);

      if (p < buffer || (q - buffer) % block_size != 0) {
        throw JException("JAllocatorBuffer::free(): inconsistent pointer.");
      }

      ((JBlock_t&) *q) = firstAvailableBlock;

      firstAvailableBlock = static_cast<JBlock_t>((q - buffer) / block_size);

      if (firstAvailableBlock != (q - buffer) / block_size) {
        throw JException("JAllocatorBuffer::free(): failed truncation check.");
      }

      ++numberOfFreeBlocks;
    }
