Detailed Description

Fixed-size chunk pool allocator.

Pre-allocates a block of memory divided into chunkCount chunks of chunkSize bytes. Maintains a free list for O(1) Allocate and Deallocate operations.

Implements a simple pool allocator that pre-allocates a contiguous block of memory divided into equal-sized chunks. Allocation and deallocation operate in constant time via a free list. This allocator is useful for fast, repetitive allocations of objects with identical size requirements.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MalevolentAllocator()

Raven::MalevolentAllocator::MalevolentAllocator	(	usize	chunkSize,
		usize	chunkCount )

Constructs the allocator with specified chunk size and count.

Parameters

chunkSize	Size in bytes of each chunk.
chunkCount	Number of chunks to allocate in the pool.

◆ ~MalevolentAllocator()

Raven::MalevolentAllocator::~MalevolentAllocator ( )

noexcept

Releases all allocated memory.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Allocate()

void * Raven::MalevolentAllocator::Allocate ( )

Allocates one chunk from the pool.

Returns: Pointer to the allocated memory chunk, or nullptr if pool is exhausted.

◆ Deallocate()

void Raven::MalevolentAllocator::Deallocate ( void * ptr )

Returns a previously allocated chunk to the pool.
