Struct linked_list_allocator::Heap

pub struct Heap { /* fields omitted */ }

A fixed size heap backed by a linked list of free memory blocks.

Methods

impl Heap

pub const fn empty() -> Heap

Creates an empty heap. All allocate calls will return None.

pub unsafe fn init(&mut self, heap_bottom: usize, heap_size: usize)

Initializes an empty heap

Unsafety

This function must be called at most once and must only be used on an empty heap.

pub unsafe fn new(heap_bottom: usize, heap_size: usize) -> Heap

Creates a new heap with the given bottom and size. The bottom address must be valid and the memory in the [heap_bottom, heap_bottom + heap_size) range must not be used for anything else. This function is unsafe because it can cause undefined behavior if the given address is invalid.

pub fn allocate_first_fit(
    &mut self,
    layout: Layout
) -> Result<NonNull<u8>, AllocErr>

Allocates a chunk of the given size with the given alignment. Returns a pointer to the beginning of that chunk if it was successful. Else it returns None. This function scans the list of free memory blocks and uses the first block that is big enough. The runtime is in O(n) where n is the number of free blocks, but it should be reasonably fast for small allocations.

pub unsafe fn deallocate(&mut self, ptr: NonNull<u8>, layout: Layout)

Frees the given allocation. ptr must be a pointer returned by a call to the allocate_first_fit function with identical size and alignment. Undefined behavior may occur for invalid arguments, thus this function is unsafe.

This function walks the list of free memory blocks and inserts the freed block at the correct place. If the freed block is adjacent to another free block, the blocks are merged again. This operation is in O(n) since the list needs to be sorted by address.

pub fn bottom(&self) -> usize

Returns the bottom address of the heap.

pub fn size(&self) -> usize

Returns the size of the heap.

pub fn top(&self) -> usize

Return the top address of the heap

pub unsafe fn extend(&mut self, by: usize)

Extends the size of the heap by creating a new hole at the end

Unsafety

The new extended area must be valid

Trait Implementations

impl Alloc for Heap

unsafe fn alloc(&mut self, layout: Layout) -> Result<NonNull<u8>, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Returns a pointer meeting the size and alignment guarantees of layout.

unsafe fn dealloc(&mut self, ptr: NonNull<u8>, layout: Layout)

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Deallocate the memory referenced by ptr.

fn usable_size(&self, layout: &Layout) -> (usize, usize)

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Returns bounds on the guaranteed usable size of a successful allocation created with the specified layout.

unsafe fn realloc(
    &mut self,
    ptr: NonNull<u8>,
    layout: Layout,
    new_size: usize
) -> Result<NonNull<u8>, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Returns a pointer suitable for holding data described by a new layout with layout’s alignment and a size given by new_size. To accomplish this, this may extend or shrink the allocation referenced by ptr to fit the new layout.

unsafe fn alloc_zeroed(
    &mut self,
    layout: Layout
) -> Result<NonNull<u8>, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Behaves like alloc, but also ensures that the contents are set to zero before being returned.

unsafe fn alloc_excess(&mut self, layout: Layout) -> Result<Excess, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Behaves like alloc, but also returns the whole size of the returned block. For some layout inputs, like arrays, this may include extra storage usable for additional data.

unsafe fn realloc_excess(
    &mut self,
    ptr: NonNull<u8>,
    layout: Layout,
    new_size: usize
) -> Result<Excess, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Behaves like realloc, but also returns the whole size of the returned block. For some layout inputs, like arrays, this may include extra storage usable for additional data.

unsafe fn grow_in_place(
    &mut self,
    ptr: NonNull<u8>,
    layout: Layout,
    new_size: usize
) -> Result<(), CannotReallocInPlace>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Attempts to extend the allocation referenced by ptr to fit new_size.

unsafe fn shrink_in_place(
    &mut self,
    ptr: NonNull<u8>,
    layout: Layout,
    new_size: usize
) -> Result<(), CannotReallocInPlace>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Attempts to shrink the allocation referenced by ptr to fit new_size.

fn alloc_one<T>(&mut self) -> Result<NonNull<T>, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Allocates a block suitable for holding an instance of T.

unsafe fn dealloc_one<T>(&mut self, ptr: NonNull<T>)

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Deallocates a block suitable for holding an instance of T.

fn alloc_array<T>(&mut self, n: usize) -> Result<NonNull<T>, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Allocates a block suitable for holding n instances of T.

unsafe fn realloc_array<T>(
    &mut self,
    ptr: NonNull<T>,
    n_old: usize,
    n_new: usize
) -> Result<NonNull<T>, AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Reallocates a block previously suitable for holding n_old instances of T, returning a block suitable for holding n_new instances of T.

unsafe fn dealloc_array<T>(
    &mut self,
    ptr: NonNull<T>,
    n: usize
) -> Result<(), AllocErr>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Deallocates a block suitable for holding n instances of T.
