Detailed Description

Map a reusable allocator over a named shared memory segment.

This may be used to form a resource bound fixed size managed heap in shared memory. The request can either be fulfilled from the object reuse pool or from a new section of memory, and if all memory in the segment has been exhausted, it can wait until more objects are returned by another thread to the reuse pool.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ucommon::MappedReuse::MappedReuse ( char *  name,
size_t  size,
unsigned  count 
)

Construct a named memory segment for use with managed fixed size reusable objects.

The segment is created as writable. There is no read-only version of mapped reuse since the mapped segment can be read by another process directly as a mapped read-only vector. The actual mapped type will be derived from ReusableObject to meet the needs of the reusable allocator. The template version should be used to assure type correctness rather than using this class directly.

Parameters:
nameof shared memory segment.
sizeof the object type being mapped.
countof the maximum number of active mapped objects.

Member Function Documentation

bool ucommon::MappedReuse::avail ( void  )

Check whether there are objects available to be allocated.

Returns:
true if objects are available.

Request a reusable object from the free list or mapped space.

This method blocks until an object becomes available.

Returns:
free object.

Reimplemented in ucommon::mapped_reuse< T >.

Used to get an object from the reuse pool when the mutex lock is already held.

Returns:
object from pool or NULL if exhausted.

Reimplemented in ucommon::mapped_reuse< T >.

Request a reusable object from the free list or mapped space.

This method blocks until an object becomes available or the timeout has expired.

Parameters:
timeoutto wait in milliseconds.
Returns:
free object or NULL if timeout.

Reimplemented in ucommon::mapped_reuse< T >.

Used to return an object to the reuse pool when the mutex lock is already held.

Parameters:
objectbeing returned.

Request a reusable object from the free list or mapped space.

Returns:
free object or NULL if pool is exhausted.

Reimplemented in ucommon::mapped_reuse< T >.
