Sample project to use snmalloc
This is a sample project which uses snmalloc in a couple of different setup. There are a couple of ways to integrate snmalloc and the one highlighted here may not be the best for your scenario. Irrespective, this one is tested and does work without much of trouble.
The code repository windows, shall capture the Microsoft windows operating system and is largely built using Visual Studio 2019.
You first need to clone and get snmalloc submodule as follows.
git clone https://github.com/neeraj9/snmalloc_sample_project --recursiveYou should then subsequently open SnmallocSample.sln
and more specifically build SampleConsoleApp. This will
generate an executable for the x64 platform, which uses
snmalloc internally via custom allocator and needs to be
injected within the standard c++ STL (as shown in the project).
- CppNativeLibrary - This is the pure C++ library which includes snmalloc, simple wrapper for including its build system (SnmallocWrapper.h/cpp) and a sample library (SearchWeb.h/cpp) which demonstrates memory allocation via snmalloc. This consists of unmanaged C++ code.
- DotNETCppInteropLibrary - This is the interop library which connects native C++ library (CppNativeLibrary) with the C# console application (CsharpConsoleApp). There is an interesting transformation between unmanaged C++ native library and .NET. This repository contains managed C++ code.
- CsharpConsoleApp - C# .NET 5 console application, which uses DotNETCppInteropLibrary to invoke functionality exposed by CppNativeLibrary. Note that CsharpConsoleApp do not know about CppNativeLibrary directly.
