GCAllocator

Members

Static functions

allocate

void[] allocate(size_t bytes)

Standard allocator methods per the semantics defined above. The deallocate and reallocate methods are @system because they may move memory around, leaving dangling pointers in user code.

collect

void collect()

Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.

deallocate

bool deallocate(void[] b)

expand

bool expand(void[] b, size_t delta)

goodAllocSize

size_t goodAllocSize(size_t n)

reallocate

bool reallocate(void[] b, size_t newSize)

resolveInternalPointer

Ternary resolveInternalPointer(void* p, void[] result)

Standard allocator methods per the semantics defined above. The deallocate and reallocate methods are @system because they may move memory around, leaving dangling pointers in user code.

Variables

alignment

enum uint alignment;

The alignment is a static constant equal to platformAlignment, which ensures proper alignment for any D data type.

instance

enum GCAllocator instance;

Returns the global instance of this allocator type. The garbage collected allocator is thread-safe, therefore all of its methods are static and instance itself is shared.

auto buffer = GCAllocator.instance.allocate(1024 * 1024 * 4);
// deallocate upon scope's end (alternatively: leave it to collection)
scope(exit) GCAllocator.instance.deallocate(buffer);
//...
