std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.bucketizer

struct Bucketizer(Allocator, size_t min, size_t max, size_t step);
A Bucketizer uses distinct allocators for handling allocations of sizes in the intervals [min, min + step - 1], [min + step, min + 2 * step - 1], [min + 2 * step, min + 3 * step - 1], ..., [max - step + 1, max].
Bucketizer holds a fixed-size array of allocators and dispatches calls to them appropriately. The size of the array is (max + 1 - min) / step, which must be an exact division.
Allocations for sizes smaller than min or larger than max are illegal for Bucketizer. To handle them separately, Segregator may be of use.
Examples:
import std.algorithm.comparison : max;
import std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.allocator_list : AllocatorList;
import std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.free_list : FreeList;
import std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.region : Region;
import std.experimental.allocator.common : unbounded;
import std.experimental.allocator.mallocator : Mallocator;
import std.typecons : Ternary;

Allocator[(max + 1 - min) / step] buckets;
The array of allocators is publicly available for e.g. initialization and inspection.
enum uint alignment;
The alignment offered is the same as Allocator.alignment.
const pure nothrow @nogc @safe size_t goodAllocSize(size_t bytes);
Rounds up to the maximum size of the bucket in which bytes falls.
void[] allocate(size_t bytes);
Directs the call to either one of the buckets allocators.
void[] alignedAllocate(size_t bytes, uint alignment);
Allocates the requested bytes of memory with specified alignment. Directs the call to either one of the buckets allocators. Defined only if Allocator defines alignedAllocate.
bool expand(ref void[] b, size_t delta);
This method allows expansion within the respective bucket range. It succeeds if both b.length and b.length + delta fall in a range of the form [min + k * step, min + (k + 1) * step - 1].
bool reallocate(ref void[] b, size_t size);
This method allows reallocation within the respective bucket range. If both b.length and size fall in a range of the form [min + k * step, min + (k + 1) * step - 1], then reallocation is in place. Otherwise, reallocation with moving is attempted.
bool alignedReallocate(ref void[] b, size_t size, uint a);
Similar to reallocate, with alignment. Defined only if Allocator defines alignedReallocate.
Ternary owns(void[] b);
Defined only if Allocator defines owns. Finds the owner of b and forwards the call to it.
bool deallocate(void[] b);
This method is only defined if Allocator defines deallocate.
bool deallocateAll();
This method is only defined if all allocators involved define deallocateAll, and calls it for each bucket in turn. Returns true if all allocators could deallocate all.
Ternary resolveInternalPointer(const void* p, ref void[] result);
This method is only defined if all allocators involved define resolveInternalPointer, and tries it for each bucket in turn.
