mrpt::system::CGenericMemoryPool< DATA_PARAMS, POOLABLE_DATA > Class Template Reference

Detailed Description

template<class DATA_PARAMS, class POOLABLE_DATA>
class mrpt::system::CGenericMemoryPool< DATA_PARAMS, POOLABLE_DATA >

A generic system for versatile memory pooling.

This class implements the singleton pattern so a unique instance exists for each combination of template parameters. All methods are thread-safe.

Basic usage:

• When needed, call request_memory() to check the availability of memory in the pool.
  • At your class destructor, donate the memory to the pool with dump_to_pool().

Notice that memory requests are checked against memory blocks in the pool via a user-defined function:

bool POOLABLE_DATA::isSuitable(const POOLABLE_DATA & req) const { ... }

For an example of how to handle a memory pool, see the class mrpt::obs::CObservation3DRangeScan

Template Parameters

POOLABLE_DATA	A struct with user-defined objects which actually contain the memory blocks (e.g. one or more std::vector).
DATA_PARAMS	A struct with user information about each memory block (e.g. size of a std::vector)

dump_to_pool()

template<class DATA_PARAMS, class POOLABLE_DATA>

void mrpt::system::CGenericMemoryPool< DATA_PARAMS, POOLABLE_DATA >::dump_to_pool ( const DATA_PARAMS &  params, POOLABLE_DATA *  block  )

inline

Saves the passed data block (characterized by params) to the pool.

If the overall size of the pool is above the limit, the oldest entry is removed.

Note

It is a responsibility of the user to allocate in dynamic memory the "POOLABLE_DATA" object with "new".

request_memory()

template<class DATA_PARAMS, class POOLABLE_DATA>

POOLABLE_DATA* mrpt::system::CGenericMemoryPool< DATA_PARAMS, POOLABLE_DATA >::request_memory ( const DATA_PARAMS &  params )

inline

Request a block of data which fulfils the size requirements stated in params.

Notice that the decision on the suitability of each pool'ed block is done by DATA_PARAMS::isSuitable().

Returns

The block of data, or NULL if none suitable was found in the pool.

Note

It is a responsibility of the user to free with "delete" the "POOLABLE_DATA" object itself once the memory has been extracted from its elements.
