e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak// not thread safe (a pool cannot be shared by threads safely)
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak-- principle:
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak - user operations on a pool of objects of type T are:
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak - T *draw() : obtain a unused slot to store an object T
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak - void drop(T *) : realease a slot
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak-- implementation:
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak - a pool for objects T is:
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak * blocks[64] : an array of allocated blocks of memory:
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---0--> block with capacity 64
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---1--> block with capacity 64
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---2--> block with capacity 128
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---3--> block with capacity 128
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---4--> block with capacity 256
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---5--> block with capacity 256
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---6--> block with capacity 512
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---7--> not yet allocated
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak |---k--> not yet allocated (future capacity ~ 2^(6+k/2))
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak '--63--> not yet allocated
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak * cblock : the index of the next unallocated block (here 7).
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak * next : a pointer to an unused slot inside an allocated bloc
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak - the first bytes of an unallocated slot inside a bloc are used to store a
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak pointer to some other unallocated slot. (this way, we keep a list of all
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak unused slots starting at <next>)
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak - insertions and deletions in this list are done at the root <next>.
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak if <next> points to NULL (no slots are availlable) when a draw()
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak operation is performed a new block is allocated, and the unused slots
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak list is filled with the allocated slots.
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak - memory is freed only at pool's deletion.
e8767bd3cabb360b1307698236a7778044950900buliabyak size = sizeof(T) > sizeof(void *) ? sizeof(T) : sizeof(void *);
