Bucketizer

A Bucketizer uses distinct allocators for handling allocations of sizes in the intervals [min, min + step - 1], [min + step, min + 2 * step - 1], [min + 2 * step, min + 3 * step - 1], ..., [max - step + 1, max].

Bucketizer holds a fixed-size array of allocators and dispatches calls to them appropriately. The size of the array is (max + 1 - min) / step, which must be an exact division.

Allocations for sizes smaller than min or larger than max are illegal for Bucketizer. To handle them separately, Segregator may be of use.

Functions

alignedAllocate
void[] alignedAllocate(size_t bytes, uint alignment)

Allocates the requested bytes of memory with specified alignment. Directs the call to either one of the buckets allocators. Defined only if Allocator defines alignedAllocate.

alignedReallocate
bool alignedReallocate(void[] b, size_t size, uint a)

Similar to reallocate, with alignment. Defined only if Allocator defines alignedReallocate.

allocate
void[] allocate(size_t bytes)

Directs the call to either one of the buckets allocators.

deallocate
bool deallocate(void[] b)

This method is only defined if Allocator defines deallocate.

deallocateAll
bool deallocateAll()

This method is only defined if all allocators involved define deallocateAll, and calls it for each bucket in turn. Returns true if all allocators could deallocate all.

expand
bool expand(void[] b, size_t delta)

This method allows expansion within the respective bucket range. It succeeds if both b.length and b.length + delta fall in a range of the form [min + k * step, min + (k + 1) * step - 1].

goodAllocSize
size_t goodAllocSize(size_t bytes)

Rounds up to the maximum size of the bucket in which bytes falls.

owns
Ternary owns(void[] b)

Defined only if Allocator defines owns. Finds the owner of b and forwards the call to it.

reallocate
bool reallocate(void[] b, size_t size)

This method allows reallocation within the respective bucket range. If both b.length and size fall in a range of the form [min + k * step, min + (k + 1) * step - 1], then reallocation is in place. Otherwise, reallocation with moving is attempted.

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

This method is only defined if all allocators involved define resolveInternalPointer, and tries it for each bucket in turn.

Variables

alignment
enum uint alignment;

The alignment offered is the same as Allocator.alignment.

buckets
Allocator[(max + 1 - min) / step] buckets;

The array of allocators is publicly available for e.g. initialization and inspection.
