Detailed Description

A Concrete Class for Dynamic Memory Management.

This is a coalescing memory manager. It allocates (possibly) large chunks of heap space and apportions it out as requested. It merges together neighboring chunks on each free().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CArena() [1/2]

CArena::CArena

(

size_t

a_hunk_size = 0

)

: Construct a coalescing memory manager. `a_hunk_size' is the minimum size of hunks of memory to allocate from the heap. If a_hunk_size == 0 we use DefaultHunkSize as specified below.

~CArena()

virtual CArena::~CArena ( )

virtual

The destructor.

CArena() [2/2]

CArena::CArena ( const CArena &  a_rhs )

private

Member Function Documentation

alloc()

virtual void* CArena::alloc ( size_t  a_nbytes )

virtual

Allocate some memory.

Implements Arena.

free()

virtual void CArena::free ( void *  a_vp )

virtual

Free up allocated memory. Merge neighboring free memory chunks into largest possible chunk.

Implements Arena.
