This is a simple memory allocator used to allocate memory of a specified size following the first-fit principle, manage the allocated memory and perform simple optimization.
- С++11 or higher
- cmake 3.11 or higher
#include "allocator.h"
Allocator allocator = Allocator(size);
where size — is an integer variable that sets the total amount of memory for the allocator.
Allocator allocator = Allocator();
In this default scenario 100 bytes will be allocated.
To allocate a specified amount of memory from the total amount, you need to call the alloc method of the Allocator class:
CleverPtr alloc(size_t size);
This method will return a CleverPtr object linking to the allocated memory.
To delete the object from memory, you need to use the free method of the Allocator class:
void free(CleverPtr&);
You need to pass the reference to the CleverPtr object you want to delete as an argument.
To solve the issue related to memory fragmentation, you can use the defrag method:
void defrag();
To run the tests, you need to:
#include "tests.h"
Tests tests = Tests();
tests.run();
