BloombergLP::bdlma::MultipoolAllocator

Allocator that manages pools of memory blocks of varying sizes.

Synopsis

Declared in <bdlma_multipoolallocator.h>

class MultipoolAllocator
    : public ManagedAllocator

Description

This class implements the bdlma::ManagedAllocator protocol to provide an allocator that maintains a configurable number of bdlma::Pool objects, each dispensing memory blocks of a unique size. The bdlma::Pool objects are placed in an array, with each successive pool managing memory blocks of size twice that of the previous pool. Each multipool allocation (deallocation) request allocates memory from (returns memory to) the internal pool having the smallest block size not less than the requested size, or, if no pool manages memory blocks of sufficient sized, from a separately managed list of memory blocks. Both the release method and the destructor of a bdlma::MultipoolAllocator release all memory currently allocated via the object.
