Detailed Description

A Virtual Base Class for Dynamic Memory Managemen.

A Virtual Base Class for Dynamic Memory Management

This is a virtual base class for objects that manage their own dynamic memory allocation. Since it is a virtual base class, you have to derive something from it to use it.

Member Function Documentation

size_t Arena::align (  size_t    a_sz )  [inline, static]

Given a minimum required arena size of a_sz bytes, this returns the next largest arena size that will hold an integral number of objects of the largest of the types void*, long, double and function pointer.

virtual void* Arena::alloc (  size_t    a_sz )  [pure virtual]

Allocate a dynamic memory arena of size a_sz. A pointer to this memory should be returned. Implemented in BArena, and CArena.

virtual void Arena::free (  void *    a_pt )  [pure virtual]

A pure virtual function for deleting the arena pointed to by a_pt. Implemented in BArena, and CArena.
