std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.segregator.Segregator - multiple declarations

Struct Segregator

Dispatches allocations (and deallocations) between two allocators (SmallAllocator and LargeAllocator) depending on the size allocated, as follows. All allocations smaller than or equal to threshold will be dispatched to SmallAllocator. The others will go to LargeAllocator.

struct Segregator(ulong threshold, SmallAllocator, LargeAllocator) ;

If both allocators are shared, the Segregator will also offer shared methods.

Methods

NameDescription
alignedAllocate This method is defined if both allocators define it, and forwards to SmallAllocator or LargeAllocator appropriately.
alignedReallocate This method is defined only if at least one of the allocators defines it, and work similarly to reallocate.
allocate The memory is obtained from SmallAllocator if s <= threshold, or LargeAllocator otherwise.
allocatorForSize Composite allocators involving nested instantiations of Segregator make it difficult to access individual sub-allocators stored within. allocatorForSize simplifies the task by supplying the allocator nested inside a Segregator that is responsible for a specific size s.
deallocate This function is defined only if both allocators define it, and forwards appropriately depending on b.length.
deallocateAll This function is defined only if both allocators define it, and calls deallocateAll for them in turn.
empty This function is defined only if both allocators define it, and returns the conjunction of empty calls for the two.
expand This method is defined only if at least one of the allocators defines it. If SmallAllocator defines expand and b.length + delta <= threshold, the call is forwarded to SmallAllocator. If LargeAllocator defines expand and b.length > threshold, the call is forwarded to LargeAllocator. Otherwise, the call returns false.
goodAllocSize This method is defined only if at least one of the allocators defines it. The good allocation size is obtained from SmallAllocator if s <= threshold, or LargeAllocator otherwise. (If one of the allocators does not define goodAllocSize, the default implementation in this module applies.)
owns This method is defined only if both allocators define it. The call is forwarded to SmallAllocator if b.length <= threshold, or LargeAllocator otherwise.
reallocate This method is defined only if at least one of the allocators defines it. If SmallAllocator defines reallocate and b.length <= threshold && s <= threshold, the call is forwarded to SmallAllocator. If LargeAllocator defines expand and b.length > threshold && s > threshold, the call is forwarded to LargeAllocator. Otherwise, the call returns false.

Example

import std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.free_list : FreeList;
import std.experimental.allocator.gc_allocator : GCAllocator;
import std.experimental.allocator.mallocator : Mallocator;
alias A =
    Segregator!(
        1024 * 4,
        Segregator!(
            128, FreeList!(Mallocator, 0, 128),
            GCAllocator),
        Segregator!(
            1024 * 1024, Mallocator,
            GCAllocator)
        );
A a;
auto b = a.allocate(200);
writeln(b.length); // 200
a.deallocate(b);

Alias Segregator

A Segregator with more than three arguments expands to a composition of elemental Segregators, as illustrated by the following example:

alias Segregator(Args...) = Segregator!(Args[cutPoint],.Segregator!(Args[0..cutPoint],Args[cutPoint+1]),.Segregator!(Args[cutPoint+2..__dollar])); 
alias A =
    Segregator!(
        n1, A1,
        n2, A2,
        n3, A3,
        A4
    );

With this definition, allocation requests for n1 bytes or less are directed to A1; requests between n1 + 1 and n2 bytes (inclusive) are directed to A2; requests between n2 + 1 and n3 bytes (inclusive) are directed to A3; and requests for more than n3 bytes are directed to A4. If some particular range should not be handled, NullAllocator may be used appropriately.

Example

import std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.free_list : FreeList;
import std.experimental.allocator.gc_allocator : GCAllocator;
import std.experimental.allocator.mallocator : Mallocator;
alias A =
    Segregator!(
        128, FreeList!(Mallocator, 0, 128),
        1024 * 4, GCAllocator,
        1024 * 1024, Mallocator,
        GCAllocator
    );
A a;
auto b = a.allocate(201);
writeln(b.length); // 201
a.deallocate(b);
