Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Pool() [1/4]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator = std::allocator<Element>>

constexpr xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::Pool ( )

constexprdefaultnoexcept

Constructs an empty pool with a default-constructed allocator.

A pool created with this constructor has a capacity of 0 and cannot hold any elements. You must make room for the elements using reset() before allocation storage for any elements.

Pool() [2/4]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator = std::allocator<Element>>

constexpr xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::Pool ( const Allocator &  allocator )

explicitconstexprnoexcept

Constructs an empty pool with a specific allocator.

A pool created with this constructor has a capacity of 0 and cannot hold any elements. You must make room for the elements using reset() before allocation storage for any elements.

Parameters

allocator

The allocator

Pool() [3/4]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator = std::allocator<Element>>

xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::Pool ( size_type  capacity )

explicit

Constructor for a pool that can hold a specific number of elements.

Creates a pool of the given size and fills it with default-inserted values.

Parameters

capacity

The number of entries to create room for

Pool() [4/4]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator = std::allocator<Element>>

xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::Pool ( size_type  capacity, const Allocator &  allocator  )

explicit

Constructor for a pool that can hold a specific number of elements.

Creates a pool of the given size and fills it with default-inserted values.

Parameters

capacity	The number of entries to create room for
allocator	The allocator

Member Function Documentation

allocate() [1/2]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator >

auto xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::allocate

(

)

-> pointer

Allocates storage for an element.

Returns

The newly allocated storage

Exceptions

std::length_error	The pool is exhausted
Rethrows	any exception thrown by the element constructor.

allocate() [2/2]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator >

auto xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::allocate ( std::nothrow_t  ) -> pointer

noexcept

Allocates storage for an element if there is space left.

This function will return a nullptr rather than throwing an exception if the pool is exhausted.

Returns

The newly allocated storage, or nullptr if the pool is exhausted

allocateWithIndex() [1/2]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator >

auto xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::allocateWithIndex

(

)

-> std::pair<pointer, size_type>

Allocates storage for an element and returns a unique index for it.

Returns

The newly allocated storage, along with a unique index that can be used to reference the element. The indices of created objects are not sequential or contiguous.

Exceptions

std::length_error

The pool is exhausted

allocateWithIndex() [2/2]

template<typename Element , typename Allocator >

auto xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::allocateWithIndex ( std::nothrow_t  ) -> std::pair<pointer, size_type>

noexcept

Allocates storage for an element if there is space left, and returns a unique index for it.

This function will return a nullptr rather than throwing an exception if the pool is exhausted.

Returns

The newly allocated storage, along with a unique index that can be used to reference the element. The indices of created objects are not sequential or contiguous. If the pool is exhausted, { nullptr, 0 } is returned.

capacity()

template<typename Element , typename Allocator = std::allocator<Element>>

constexpr auto xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::capacity ( ) const -> size_type

constexprnoexcept

Gets the maximum number of elements the pool can hold.

Returns

the capacity of the pool

deallocate()

template<typename Element , typename Allocator >

auto xentara::utils::lockFree::Pool< Element, Allocator >::deallocate ( pointer  element ) -> void

noexcept

Deallocates the storage of an element back to the pool.

Parameters

element

An element previously returned by allocate() or allocateWithIndex(). If you pass nullptr, the function does nothing.
