Release the managed memory and reset this proctor to manage a different block.

Synopsis

Declared in <bslma_deallocatebytesproctor.h>

void
reset(
    PtrType p,
    std::size_t nbytes,
    std::size_t alignment = k_MAX_ALIGNMENT);

Description

Release the managed memory and reset this proctor to manage the specified nbytes bytes at the specified p address. Optionally specify the alignment used to allocate p. If p is null, then the proctor is disengaged (manages no memory). The behavior is undefined unless p is null or was allocated with a size of nbytes and alignment of alignment from the same allocator used to construct this proctor. Note that the previously managed block is not deallocated.

Parameters

Name

Description

p

address of the memory block to manage, or null

nbytes

size in bytes of the block at p

alignment

alignment used when p was allocated
