Member Function Documentation

allocate()

void * uniot::GlobalBufferMemoryManager::allocate ( size_t size )

static

Allocate memory from the global buffer.

Parameters

size	Number of bytes to allocate

Return values

void*	Pointer to the allocated memory block
nullptr	If allocation fails

deallocate()

void uniot::GlobalBufferMemoryManager::deallocate ( void * ptr )

static

Deallocate previously allocated memory.

Returns the memory block to the free list, merging with adjacent free blocks when possible.

Parameters

ptr	Pointer to memory previously allocated with allocate()

getLargestFreeBlock()

size_t uniot::GlobalBufferMemoryManager::getLargestFreeBlock ( )

static

Get the size of the largest available free block.

Return values

size_t

Size in bytes of the largest contiguous free block

getTotalFreeMemory()

size_t uniot::GlobalBufferMemoryManager::getTotalFreeMemory ( )

static

Get the total free memory available in the buffer.

Return values

size_t

Total bytes available across all free blocks

initialize()

void uniot::GlobalBufferMemoryManager::initialize ( )

static

Initialize the memory manager.

Sets up the free list with a single large block covering the entire buffer. Must be called before any other memory operations.

reallocate()

void * uniot::GlobalBufferMemoryManager::reallocate ( void * ptr, size_t newSize )

static

Resize allocated memory.

Either returns the existing block if it's large enough, or allocates a new block, copies the data, and frees the old block.

Parameters

ptr	Pointer to memory previously allocated with allocate(), or nullptr
newSize	New size in bytes

Return values

void*	Pointer to the resized memory block
nullptr	If reallocation fails
