Crate byte_pool

Pool of byte slices.

Example

use byte_pool::BytePool;

// Create a pool
let pool = BytePool::<Vec<u8>>::new();

// Allocate a buffer with capacity 1024.
let mut buf = pool.alloc(1024);

// write some data into it
for i in 0..100 {
  buf[i] = 12;
}

// Check that we actually wrote sth.
assert_eq!(buf[55], 12);

// Returns the underlying memory to the pool.
drop(buf);

// Frees all memory in the pool.
drop(pool);

Structs

Block

The value returned by an allocation of the pool. When it is dropped the memory gets returned into the pool, and is not zeroed. If that is a concern, you must clear the data yourself.

BytePool

A pool of byte slices, that reuses memory.

Traits

Poolable

The trait required to be able to use a type in BytePool.

Realloc

A trait allowing for efficient reallocation.
