Crate bulk_allocator

bulk-allocator provides implementations of GlobalAlloc that manage a memory cache. The instance fetches memory chunks from the backend and frees them on the drop at once for the performance.

Method dealloc does not instantly free the specified pointer; instead, it pools the pointer within the cache.

Method alloc acquires a memory chunk from the backend and fill the cache if necessary, and returns a requested pointer from the cache.

It is when the instance is dropped that the memory chunks are deallocated.

Structs

• BulkAlloc
  BulkAlloc is an implementation of GlobalAlloc holding memory cache. This struct acquires bulk memories from the backend, and frees them on the drop at once for the performance.
• LayoutBulkAlloc
  LayoutBulkAlloc is an implementation of GlobalAlloc.
• UnsafeLayoutBulkAlloc
  UnsafeLayoutBulkAlloc is an implementation of GlobalAlloc.

Constants

• MEMORY_CHUNK_SIZE
  The default byte count of the bulk memory that this crate allocates from the backend if no cache is. Note that if too large layout is requested, it may exceed this value that this crate acquires via the backend.
