Description (from docs):
RegionAllocator is a memory allocator based on segmented stacks. A segmented stack is similar to a regular stack in that memory is allocated and freed in last in, first out order. When memory is requested from a segmented stack, it first checks whether enough space is available in the current segment, and if so increments the stack pointer and returns. If not, a new segment is allocated. When memory is freed, the stack pointer is decremented. If the last segment is no longer in use, it may be returned to where it was allocated from or retained for future use. http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=144058 |
