|
||
describing the characteristics of the memory pool, a policy class
|
||
containing this pool that links instantiation types to common or
|
||
individual pools, and a class inheriting from the policy class that is
|
||
the actual allocator.
|
||
</p><p>The datum describing pools characteristics is
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
template<bool _Thread>
|
||
class __pool
|
||
</pre><p> This class is parametrized on thread support, and is explicitly
|
||
specialized for both multiple threads (with <code class="code">bool==true</code>)
|
||
and single threads (via <code class="code">bool==false</code>.) It is possible to
|
||
use a custom pool datum instead of the default class that is provided.
|
||
</p><p> There are two distinct policy classes, each of which can be used
|
||
with either type of underlying pool datum.
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
template<bool _Thread>
|
||
struct __common_pool_policy
|
||
|
||
template<typename _Tp, bool _Thread>
|
||
struct __per_type_pool_policy
|
||
</pre><p> The first policy, <code class="code">__common_pool_policy</code>, implements a
|
||
common pool. This means that allocators that are instantiated with
|
||
different types, say <code class="code">char</code> and <code class="code">long</code> will both
|
||
use the same pool. This is the default policy.
|
||
</p><p> The second policy, <code class="code">__per_type_pool_policy</code>, implements
|
||
a separate pool for each instantiating type. Thus, <code class="code">char</code>
|
||
and <code class="code">long</code> will use separate pools. This allows per-type
|
||
tuning, for instance.
|
||
</p><p> Putting this all together, the actual allocator class is
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
template<typename _Tp, typename _Poolp = __default_policy>
|
||
class __mt_alloc : public __mt_alloc_base<_Tp>, _Poolp
|
||
</pre><p> This class has the interface required for standard library allocator
|
||
classes, namely member functions <code class="code">allocate</code> and
|
||
<code class="code">deallocate</code>, plus others.
