Member Function Documentation

void * nvwa::mem_pool_base::alloc_sys

(

size_t

size

)

[static]

Allocates memory from the run-time system.

Parameters:

size

size of the memory to allocate in bytes

Returns:

pointer to allocated memory block if successful; or NULL if memory allocation fails

void nvwa::mem_pool_base::dealloc_sys

(

void *

ptr

)

Frees memory and returns it to the run-time system.

Parameters:

ptr

pointer to the memory block previously allocated

void nvwa::mem_pool_base::recycle
