Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class libMesh::PoolAllocator< T >

An allocator which can be used in standard containers.

Uses pool-based memory allocation to efficiently allocate many small objects.

Note
Object destruction returns memory to the pool rather than deallocate it. It must be explicitly deallocated prior to program termination.

2011 Boost-derived allocator that can be used with std::containers.

A wrapper for std::allocator<> when Boost is not available.

Member Function Documentation

◆ purge_memory() [1/2]

template<typename T>
static bool libMesh::PoolAllocator< T >::purge_memory ( )
inlinestatic

Frees every memory block.

This function invalidates any pointers previously returned by allocation functions.

Returns
true if at least one memory block was freed.

Definition at line 90 of file pool_allocator.h.

91  {
92  return boost::singleton_pool<boost::pool_allocator_tag, sizeof(T)>::purge_memory();
93  }

◆ purge_memory() [2/2]

template<typename T>
static bool libMesh::PoolAllocator< T >::purge_memory ( )
inlinestatic

Frees every memory block.

This function invalidates any pointers previously returned by allocation functions.

Returns
true if at least one memory block was freed.

Definition at line 201 of file pool_allocator.h.

201 { /* no-op for std::allocator<> - already freed. */ return false; }

◆ release_memory() [1/2]

template<typename T>
static bool libMesh::PoolAllocator< T >::release_memory ( )
inlinestatic

Frees every memory block that doesn't have any allocated chunks.

Returns
true if at least one memory block was freed.

Definition at line 79 of file pool_allocator.h.

80  {
81  return boost::singleton_pool<boost::pool_allocator_tag, sizeof(T)>::release_memory();
82  }

◆ release_memory() [2/2]

template<typename T>
static bool libMesh::PoolAllocator< T >::release_memory ( )
inlinestatic

Frees every memory block that doesn't have any allocated chunks.

Returns
true if at least one memory block was freed.

Definition at line 193 of file pool_allocator.h.

193 { /* no-op for std::allocator<> - already freed. */ return false; }
