|
* Abstract:
|
|
* This is the interface file for the Memory class. Instances of this
|
|
* class are used to pass data around the system.
|
|
*
|
|
* Each instance of this class maintains two pointers. The first is a
|
|
* pointer to the reference data (or the source data) which this object
|
|
* is responsible for representing. The second is a pointer to a copy
|
|
* buffer, which is a piece of allocated memory that a Memory object
|
|
* can copy the data into if necessary.
|
|
*
|
|
* When a Memory object is created, both of these addresses are passed
|
|
* in to it. It does not, however, copy the data from the reference
|
|
* buffer to the copy buffer just yet. If anyone asks the address of the
|
|
* buffer, it will simply return the reference pointer. However, the
|
|
* first time the buffer is locked, the data will be copied from the
|
|
* reference buffer to the copy buffer for safe keeping. In essence,
|
|
* the lock function tells the Memory object that someone is interested
|
|
* in the data for longer than the reference buffer will remain valid.
|
|
*
|
|
* After the object is locked, a call to retrieve a memory pointer will
|
|
* result in the copy pointer being returned.
|
|
*
|
|
* Each time the lock function is called, a lock count is incremented.
|
|
* The copy operation only takes place the first time the buffer is
|
|
* locked, however.
|
|
*
|
|
* In addition to maintaining a lock count, this object keeps a flag
|
|
* indicating whether or not it has been freed by the allocator. This
|
|
* freeing really means that the object is enabled to be freed as soon
|
|
* as the lock count hits zero.
|
|
*
|
|
* Caveats:
|
|
* None.

* This is a pointer to the data that is to represented by this

|
|
* length (i)
|

|
* copy_ptr (i)
|
|
* This is the address of an allocated buffer that the Memory object
|
|
* can use to preserve the contents of the reference buffer if a lock
|
|
* operation occurs.
|
|
* free_stack (i)
|
|
* This is a pointer to a list container that the allocated memory
|
|
* block came from. This field is not used internally, and is only
|
|
* held here in order to improve the performance of the memory
|
|
* manager that is using Memory objects.
|
|
* block_number (i)
|
|
* This is the block number for the memory block that is represented
|
|
* by this object. This field is not used internally, and is only
|
|
* held here in order to improve the performance of the memory
|
|
* manager that is using Memory objects.
