Name
Memory Allocators — deprecated way to allocate chunks of memory for GList, GSList and GNode.
Library
glib.lib
Synopsis
#include <glib.h>
GAllocator;
GAllocator* g_allocator_new (const gchar *name, guint n_preallocs);
void g_allocator_free (GAllocator *allocator);
Detailed Description
Prior to 2.10, GAllocator
was used as an efficient way to allocate small pieces of memory for use with the
GList,
GSList
and GNode
data structures. Since 2.10, it has been completely replaced by the
slice allocator and deprecated.
Details
GAllocator
typedef struct _GAllocator GAllocator;

Warning: |
The GAllocator struct contains private data. and should only be accessed using the following functions.
g_allocator_new ()
GAllocator* g_allocator_new (const gchar *name, guint n_preallocs);
Creates a new GAllocator.

|
Warning: |
name : |
the name of the GAllocator. This name is used to set the name of the GMemChunk used by the GAllocator, and is only used for debugging. |
n_preallocs : |
the number of elements in each block of memory allocated. Larger
blocks mean less calls to g_malloc(),
but some memory may be wasted. (GLib uses 128 elements per block by
default.) The value must be between 1 and 65535.
|
| Returns : | a new GAllocator. |
g_allocator_free ()
void g_allocator_free (GAllocator *allocator);
Frees all of the memory allocated by the GAllocator.

Warning: |
allocator:
: |
a GAllocator. . |
