[section:managed_memory_segment_multiple_allocations Multiple allocation functions]
If an application needs to allocate a lot of memory buffers but it needs
to deallocate them independently, the application is normally forced to loop
calling `allocate()`. Managed memory segments offer an alternative function
to pack several allocations in a single call obtaining memory buffers that:
* are packed contiguously in memory (which improves locality)
* can be independently deallocated.
This allocation method is much faster
than calling `allocate()` in a loop. The downside is that the segment
must provide a contiguous memory segment big enough to hold all the allocations.
Managed memory segments offer this functionality through `allocate_many()` functions.
There are 2 types of `allocate_many` functions:
* Allocation of N buffers of memory with the same size.
* Allocation ot N buffers of memory, each one of different size.
[c++]
//!Allocates n_elements of elem_size bytes.
multiallocation_iterator allocate_many(std::size_t elem_size, std::size_t min_elements, std::size_t preferred_elements, std::size_t &received_elements);
//!Allocates n_elements, each one of elem_sizes[i] bytes.
multiallocation_iterator allocate_many(const std::size_t *elem_sizes, std::size_t n_elements);
//!Allocates n_elements of elem_size bytes. No throwing version.
multiallocation_iterator allocate_many(std::size_t elem_size, std::size_t min_elements, std::size_t preferred_elements, std::size_t &received_elements, std::nothrow_t nothrow);
//!Allocates n_elements, each one of elem_sizes[i] bytes. No throwing version.
multiallocation_iterator allocate_many(const std::size_t *elem_sizes, std::size_t n_elements, std::nothrow_t nothrow);
All functions return a `multiallocation iterator` that can be used to obtain
pointers to memory the user can overwrite. A `multiallocation_iterator`:
* Becomes invalidated if the memory is pointing to is deallocated or
the next iterators (which previously were reachable with `operator++`)
become invalid.
* Returned from `allocate_many` can be checked in a boolean expression to
know if the allocation has been successful.
* A default constructed `multiallocation iterator` indicates
both an invalid iterator and the "end" iterator.
* Dereferencing an iterator (`operator *()`) returns a `char &`
referencing the first byte user can overwrite
in the memory buffer.
* The iterator category depends on the memory allocation algorithm,
but it's a least a forward iterator.
Here's an small example showing all this functionality:
[import ../example/doc_managed_multiple_allocation.cpp]
[doc_managed_multiple_allocation]
Allocating N buffers of the same size improves the performance of pools
and node containers (for example STL-like lists): when inserting a range of
forward iterators in a STL-like list, the insertion function can detect the
number of needed elements and allocate in a single call. The nodes still
can be deallocated.
Allocating N buffers of different sizes can be used to speed up allocation in
cases where several objects must always be allocated at the same time but
deallocated at different times. For example, a class might perform several initial
allocations (some header data for a network packet, for example) in its
constructor but also allocations of buffers that might be reallocated in the future
(the data to be sent through the network). Instead of allocating all the data
independently, the constructor might use `allocate_many()` to speed up the
initialization, but it still can deallocate and expand the memory of the variable
size element.
In general, `allocate_many` is useful with large values of N. Overuse
of `allocate_many` can increase the effective memory usage,
because it can't reuse existing non-contiguous memory fragments that
might be available for some of the elements.
