Detailed Description
Abstract interface for objects that own memory.
Base interface for classes that directly or indirectly own memory in the memory pool and can READ that memory. Defines interfaces for querying memory size and state.
Indirect ownership?
"Indirect ownership" means the object doesn't directly allocate and use memory, but internal member variables handle it. If memory allocation must be done through internal members, the class should only inherit memoryHaver. If allocation is also possible, inherit allocator.
len and size
Allocatable memory size is expressed as size, while allocated memory is expressed as len. Control is based solely on void* and byte units.
- Remarks
- memoryHaver derivatives manage different memory sizes Note that memoryHaver derived classes each manage different sizes of memory.
Member Function Documentation
◆ _get()
◆ has()
Checks if this memory manager "owns" or contains the given instance.
- Parameters
-
it The instance to check for.
- Returns
- true if the instance is managed by this memoryHaver, false otherwise.
Implemented in by::chunk, and by::chunks.
