For example, * external software such as the PLY library (vtkPLY) and VRML importer * (vtkVRMLImporter) are often written with lots of malloc() calls but * without the corresponding free() invocations. The class * vtkOrderedTriangulator may create and delete millions of new/delete calls. * This class allows the overloading of the C++ new operator (or other memory * allocation requests) by using the method AllocateMemory(). Memory is * deleted with an invocation of CleanAll() (which deletes ALL memory; any * given memory allocation cannot be deleted). Note: a block size can be used * to control the size of each memory allocation. Requests for memory are * fulfilled from the block until the block runs out, then a new block is * created. * * @warning * Do not use this class as a general replacement for system memory * allocation. This class should be used only as a last resort if memory * leaks cannot be tracked down and eliminated by conventional means. Also, * deleting memory from vtkHeap is not supported. Only the deletion of * the entire heap is. (A Reset() method allows you to reuse previously * allocated memory.) * * @sa * vtkVRMLImporter vtkPLY vtkOrderedTriangulator */ #ifndef vtkHeap_h #define vtkHeap_h #include "vtkCommonMiscModule.h" // For export macro #include "vtkObject.h" class vtkHeapBlock; // forward declaration class VTKCOMMONMISC_EXPORT vtkHeap : public vtkObject { public: static vtkHeap* New(); vtkTypeMacro(vtkHeap, vtkObject); void PrintSelf(ostream& os, vtkIndent indent) override; /** * Allocate the memory requested. */ void* AllocateMemory(size_t n); //@{ /** * Set/Get the size at which blocks are allocated.
