Detailed Description

AdMemoryManager provides memory allocation functionality to the framework. It creates ::AdMatrix and IntMatrix structures aswell as C arrays. AdMemoryManager must be used to free any structures it creates via its free methods.

AdMemoryManager is a singleton. Only one instance of it exists per simulation. Use appMemoryManager (AdMemoryManager) to return the simulations AdMemoryManager instance.

Defaults:

An applications AdMemoryManager instance will output statistics on each allocation/deallocation if a default called OutputMemoryStatistics exists in the applications default domain and it is set to YES.

Before and after each event the values (in MB's) returned by the libc function mallinfo() for arena, hblks, uordblks and fordbblks are written to stderr.

Member Function Documentation

- (void *) allocateArrayOfSize:

(size_t)

size

Allocates an array of size size The elements of the array are set to 0

Parameters:

size	the size of the array in bytes

- (IntMatrix *) allocateIntMatrixWithRows:		(int)	no_rows
withColumns:		(int)	no_columns

Allocates an IntMatrix with the requseted dimensions. The

Parameters:

no_rows	The number of rows in the matrix
no_columns	The number of columns in the matrix

Returns:

A pointer to an IntMatrix struct which contain a reference to the allocated memory area The matrix contents are initialised to 0.

- (AdMatrix *) allocateMatrixWithRows:		(int)	no_rows
withColumns:		(int)	no_columns

Allocates an ::AdMatrix with the requseted dimensions

Parameters:

no_rows	The number of rows in the matrix
no_columns	The number of columns in the matrix

Returns:

A pointer to a ::AdMatrix struct which contain a reference to the allocated memory area The matrix contents are initialised to 0.

+ (id) appMemoryManager

Returns the shared memory manager for the application.

- (void) freeArray:

(void*)

array
