Memory Namespace Reference

The Nebula3 Memory subsystem implements custom memory allocation mechanisms which provide higher performance and better debugging aids.

Functions
__forceinline void *	Alloc (size_t size)
__forceinline void *	Realloc (void *ptr, size_t size)
__forceinline void	Free (void *ptr)

__forceinline void	Clear (void *ptr, size_t numBytes)
__forceinline char *	DuplicateCString (const char *from)

__forceinline void* Memory::Alloc

(

size_t

size

)

Allocate a block of memory from the process heap.

__forceinline void* Memory::Realloc	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	size
	)

Reallocate a block of memory.

__forceinline void Memory::Free

(

void *

ptr

)

Free a chunk of memory from the process heap.

__forceinline void Memory::Copy	(	const void *	from,
		void *	to,
		size_t	numBytes
	)

Copy a chunk of memory (note the argument order is different from memcpy()!!!)

__forceinline void Memory::Clear	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	numBytes
	)

Overwrite a chunk of memory with 0's.

__forceinline char* Memory::DuplicateCString

(

const char *

from

)

Duplicate a 0-terminated string.
