Module erdnuss_comms::frame_pool

Frame Pool

This is a specialized pool allocator. It is optimized and opinionated for the following cases:

• Use where you want to store multiple chunks of bytes, in the size range of 1..=255 bytes
• Use in cases where the target may not have CAS atomics, so only load and stores are used for synchronization

This allows for the creation of FrameBox allocations, that can only be allocated with exclusive access to a RawFrameSlice, but can be deallocated by dropping (just like a Box from the standard library), and do not require any kind of mutex at the time of drop.

Structs

  An allocated frame storage
• FrameStorage
  Storage for exactly N frames
• RawFrameSlice
  A sliceable allocation pool
• SendFrameBox
  SendFrameBox represent a message to be sent over the wire.
• WireFrameBox
  WireFrameBox represents a valid packet received from the wire
