Detailed Description

Allocates objects of one given size.

Has a fixed limit of allocation

Each object of type Chunk contains and manages a chunk of memory containing a amount of blocks. At construction time, you configure the block size and the number of blocks. A Chunk contains logic that allows you to allocate and deallocate memory blocks from that chunk of memory. When there are no more blocks available in the chunk, the allocation function returns zero.

_allocate_()

INLINE void * gum::FixedAllocator::_Chunk_::_allocate_

(

const std::size_t &

Allocates a block of memory.

    // Remember that the first byte of each block gives us the index of next
    // available slot.

    // block.

_deallocat_()

INLINE void gum::FixedAllocator::_Chunk_::_deallocat_	(	void *	p,

Deallocates a block of memory.

    // First byte of toRelease has now to give the index of current first
    // available block

_init_()

Initializes a Chunk object.

    // For each unallocated block, the first byte contains a number.
    // That number is the index of the next available block
    // Since we're at the beginning, next free block is the next one simply.
