Struct std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.affix_allocator.AffixAllocator

Allocator that adds some extra data before (of type Prefix) and/or after (of type Suffix) any allocation made with its parent allocator. This is useful for uses where additional allocation-related information is needed, such as mutexes, reference counts, or walls for debugging memory corruption errors.

struct AffixAllocator(Allocator, Prefix, Suffix) ;

If Prefix is not void, Allocator must guarantee an alignment at least as large as Prefix.alignof.

Suffixes are slower to get at because of alignment rounding, so prefixes should be preferred. However, small prefixes blunt the alignment so if a large alignment with a small affix is needed, suffixes should be chosen.

The following methods are defined if Allocator defines them, and forward to it: deallocateAll, empty, owns.

Fields

NameTypeDescription
instance AffixAllocatorThe instance singleton is defined if and only if the parent allocator has no state and defines its own it object.
_parent AllocatorIf the parent allocator Allocator is stateful, an instance of it is stored as a member. Otherwise, AffixAllocator uses Allocator.instance. In either case, the name parent is uniformly used for accessing the parent allocator.

Methods

NameDescription
allocate Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
deallocate Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
deallocateAll Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
empty Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
expand Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
goodAllocSize Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
owns Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
parent If the parent allocator Allocator is stateful, an instance of it is stored as a member. Otherwise, AffixAllocator uses Allocator.instance. In either case, the name parent is uniformly used for accessing the parent allocator.
prefix Affix access functions offering references to the affixes of a block b previously allocated with this allocator. b may not be null. They are defined if and only if the corresponding affix is not void.
reallocate Standard allocator methods. Each is defined if and only if the parent allocator defines the homonym method (except for goodAllocSize, which may use the global default). Also, the methods will be shared if the parent allocator defines them as such.
suffix Affix access functions offering references to the affixes of a block b previously allocated with this allocator. b may not be null. They are defined if and only if the corresponding affix is not void.

Example

import std.experimental.allocator.mallocator : Mallocator;
// One word before and after each allocation.
alias A = AffixAllocator!(Mallocator, size_t, size_t);
auto b = A.instance.allocate(11);
A.instance.prefix(b) = 0xCAFE_BABE;
A.instance.suffix(b) = 0xDEAD_BEEF;
assert(A.instance.prefix(b) == 0xCAFE_BABE
    && A.instance.suffix(b) == 0xDEAD_BEEF);
