Pool management
(Re-)Allocation within a pool
Combined allocation and marshalling
Description
This module contains support for pooled memory management. Under this scheme, (re-)allocations belong to a given pool, and everything in a pool is deallocated when the pool itself is deallocated. This is useful when alloca with its implicit allocation and deallocation is not flexible enough, but explicit uses of malloc and free are too awkward.

Pool management
data Pool Source
A memory pool.
newPool :: IO PoolSource
Allocate a fresh memory pool.
freePool :: Pool -> IO ()Source
Deallocate a memory pool and everything which has been allocated in the pool itself.
withPool :: (Pool -> IO b) -> IO bSource
Execute an action with a fresh memory pool, which gets automatically deallocated (including its contents) after the action has finished.
(Re-)Allocation within a pool
pooledMalloc :: Storable a => Pool -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Allocate space for storable type in the given pool. The size of the area allocated is determined by the sizeOf method from the instance of Storable for the appropriate type.
pooledMallocBytes :: Pool -> Int -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Allocate the given number of bytes of storage in the pool.
pooledRealloc :: Storable a => Pool -> Ptr a -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Adjust the storage area for an element in the pool to the given size of the required type.
pooledReallocBytes :: Pool -> Ptr a -> Int -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Adjust the storage area for an element in the pool to the given size.
pooledMallocArray :: Storable a => Pool -> Int -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Allocate storage for the given number of elements of a storable type in the pool.
pooledMallocArray0 :: Storable a => Pool -> Int -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Allocate storage for the given number of elements of a storable type in the pool, but leave room for an extra element to signal the end of the array.
pooledReallocArray :: Storable a => Pool -> Ptr a -> Int -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Adjust the size of an array in the given pool.
pooledReallocArray0 :: Storable a => Pool -> Ptr a -> Int -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Adjust the size of an array with an end marker in the given pool.
Combined allocation and marshalling
pooledNew :: Storable a => Pool -> a -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Allocate storage for a value in the given pool and marshal the value into this storage.
pooledNewArray :: Storable a => Pool -> [a] -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Allocate consecutive storage for a list of values in the given pool and marshal these values into it.
pooledNewArray0 :: Storable a => Pool -> a -> [a] -> IO (Ptr a)Source
Allocate consecutive storage for a list of values in the given pool and marshal these values into it, terminating the end with the given marker.
