|
A more robust replacement for the default server block allocator, link::Classes/PowerOfTwoAllocator::. May be used in the link::Classes/Server:: class to allocate audio/control bus numbers and buffer numbers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To configure a server to use ContiguousBlockAllocator, execute the following:
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
aServer.options.blockAllocClass = ContiguousBlockAllocator;
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
Normally you will not need to address the allocators directly. However, ContiguousBlockAllocator adds one feature not present in PowerOfTwoAllocator, namely the emphasis::reserve:: method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ClassMethods::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::new
|
||
|
|
Create a new allocator with emphasis::size:: slots. You may block off the first emphasis::pos:: slots (the server's audioBusAllocator does this to reserve the hardware input and output buses).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
InstanceMethods::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
private::prReserve, prSplit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::alloc
|
||
|
|
Return the starting index of a free block that is emphasis::n:: slots wide. The default is 1 slot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::free
|
||
|
|
Free a previously allocated block starting at emphasis::address::.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::reserve
|
||
|
|
Mark a specific range of addresses as used so that the alloc method will not return any addresses within that range.
