Detailed Description

Open CASCADE memory manager optimized for speed.

The behaviour is different for memory blocks of different sizes, according to specified options provided to constructor:

Small blocks with size less than or equal to aCellSize are allocated in big pools of memory. The parameter aNbPages specifies size of these pools in pages (operating system-dependent). When freed, small block is not returned to the system but added into free blocks list and reused when block of the same size is requested.
Medium size blocks with size less than aThreshold are allocated using malloc() or calloc() function but not returned to the system when method Free() is called; instead they are put into free list and reused when block of the same size is requested. Blocks of medium size stored in free lists can be released to the system (by free()) by calling method Purge().
Large blocks with size greater than or equal to aThreshold are allocated and freed directly: either using malloc()/calloc() and free(), or using memory mapped files (if option aMMap is True)

Thus the optimization of memory allocation/deallocation is reached for small and medium size blocks using free lists method; note that space allocated for small blocks cannot be (currently) released to the system while space for medium size blocks can be released by method Purge().

Note that destructor of that class frees all free lists and memory pools allocated for small blocks.

Note that size of memory blocks allocated by this memory manager is always rounded up to 16 bytes. In addition, 8 bytes are added at the beginning of the memory block to hold auxiliary information (size of the block when in use, or pointer to the next free block when in free list). This the expense of speed optimization. At the same time, allocating small blocks is usually less costly than directly by malloc since allocation is made once (when allocating a pool) and overheads induced by malloc are minimized.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ TPCallBackFunc

typedef void(* Standard_MMgrOpt::TPCallBackFunc) (const Standard_Boolean theIsAlloc, const Standard_Address theStorage, const Standard_Size theRoundSize, const Standard_Size theSize)

Declaration of a type pointer to the callback function that should accept the following arguments:

Parameters

theIsAlloc	true if the data is allocated, false if it is freed
theStorage	address of the allocated/freed block
theRoundSize	the real rounded size of the block
theSize	the size of the block that was requested by application (this value is correct only if theIsAlloc is true)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Standard_MMgrOpt()

Standard_MMgrOpt::Standard_MMgrOpt	(	const Standard_Boolean	aClear = `Standard_True`,
		const Standard_Boolean	aMMap = `Standard_True`,
		const Standard_Size	aCellSize = `200`,
		const Standard_Integer	aNbPages = `10000`,
		const Standard_Size	aThreshold = `40000`
	)

Constructor. If aClear is True, the allocated emmory will be nullified. For description of other parameters, see description of the class above.

◆ ~Standard_MMgrOpt()

virtual Standard_MMgrOpt::~Standard_MMgrOpt ( )

virtual

Frees all free lists and pools allocated for small blocks.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Allocate()

virtual Standard_Address Standard_MMgrOpt::Allocate ( const Standard_Size aSize )

virtual

Allocate aSize bytes; see class description above.

Implements Standard_MMgrRoot.

◆ AllocMemory()

Standard_Size* Standard_MMgrOpt::AllocMemory ( Standard_Size & aSize )

protected

Internal - allocation of memory using either malloc or memory mapped files. The size of the actually allocated block may be greater than requested one when memory mapping is used, since it is aligned to page size.

◆ Free()

virtual void Standard_MMgrOpt::Free ( Standard_Address thePtr )

virtual

Free previously allocated block. Note that block can not all blocks are released to the OS by this method (see class description)

Implements Standard_MMgrRoot.

◆ FreeMemory()

void Standard_MMgrOpt::FreeMemory	(	Standard_Address	aPtr,
		const Standard_Size	aSize
	)

protected

Internal - deallocation of memory taken by AllocMemory.

◆ FreePools()

void Standard_MMgrOpt::FreePools ( )

protected

Internal - free memory pools allocated for small size blocks.

◆ Initialize()

void Standard_MMgrOpt::Initialize ( )

protected

Internal - initialization of buffers.

◆ Purge()

virtual Standard_Integer Standard_MMgrOpt::Purge ( Standard_Boolean isDestroyed )

virtual

Release medium-sized blocks of memory in free lists to the system. Returns number of actually freed blocks.

Reimplemented from Standard_MMgrRoot.

◆ Reallocate()

virtual Standard_Address Standard_MMgrOpt::Reallocate	(	Standard_Address	thePtr,
		const Standard_Size	theSize
	)

virtual

Reallocate previously allocated aPtr to a new size; new address is returned. In case that aPtr is null, the function behaves exactly as Allocate.

Implements Standard_MMgrRoot.

◆ SetCallBackFunction()

static void Standard_MMgrOpt::SetCallBackFunction ( TPCallBackFunc pFunc )

static

Set the callback function. You may pass 0 there to turn off the callback. The callback function, if set, will be automatically called from within Allocate and Free methods.
