Detailed Description

template<typename VectorType = ::Vector<double>>
class PrimitiveVectorMemory< VectorType >

Simple memory management. See the documentation of the base class for a description of its purpose.

This class allocates and deletes vectors as needed from the global heap, i.e. performs no specially adapted actions for memory management.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename VectorType = ::Vector<double>>

virtual VectorType* PrimitiveVectorMemory< VectorType >::alloc ( )

overridevirtual

Return a pointer to a new vector. The number of elements or their subdivision into blocks (if applicable) is unspecified and users of this function should reset vectors to their proper size. The same holds for the contents of vectors: they are unspecified. In other words, the place that calls this function will need to resize or reinitialize it appropriately.

For the present class, calling this function will allocate a new vector on the heap and returning a pointer to it. Later calling free() then returns the memory to the global heap managed by the operating system.

Warning

Just like using new and delete explicitly in code invites bugs where memory is leaked (either because the corresponding delete is forgotten altogether, or because of exception safety issues), using the alloc() and free() functions explicitly invites writing code that accidentally leaks memory. You should consider using the VectorMemory::Pointer class instead, which provides the same kind of service that std::unique provides for arbitrary memory allocated on the heap.

Implements VectorMemory< VectorType >.

template<typename VectorType = ::Vector<double>>

virtual void PrimitiveVectorMemory< VectorType >::free ( const VectorType *const  v )

overridevirtual

Return a vector and indicate that it is not going to be used any further by the instance that called alloc() to get a pointer to it.

For the present class, this means that the vector is returned to the global heap.
