Description 

Allocate 

Allocates a block of memory of specific size. Debugging information if passed is recorded on the block. 

CStrDup 

Translates from a TEXTCHAR string to a char string. Probably only for UNICODE to non wide translation points. 

Deallocate 

A 'safe' release macro. casts the block to the type to release. Makes sure the pointer being released is the type specified. 

DebugDumpHeapMem 

Dumps all blocks into the log. 

DebugDumpMem 

Dumps all tracked heaps. 

DupCharToText 

This is macro sack::memory::DupCharToText. 

DupCStr 

Converts from 8 bit char to 16 bit wchar (or no-op if not UNICODE compiled) 

DupTextToChar 

This is macro sack::memory::DupTextToChar. 

DupTextToWide 

This is macro sack::memory::DupTextToWide. 

DupWideToText 

This is macro sack::memory::DupWideToText. 

GetHeapMemStats 

 

HeapAllocate 

 

HeapMove 

Moves a block of memory from one heap to another. 

HeapPreallocate 

This can be used to add additional space before the beginning of a memory block. 

HeapReallocate 

This can be used to add additional space after the end of a memory block. 

Hold 

Adds a usage count to a block of memory. For each count added, an additional release must be used. This can be used to keep a copy of the block, even if some other code automatically releases it. 

LockedExchangePtrSzVal 

like also __if_assembly__ extern "C" { 

MemDup 

This duplicates a block of memory. 

New 

A simple macro to allocate a new single unit of a structure. Adds a typecast automatically to be (type*) so C++ compilation is clean. Does not burden the user with extra typecasts. This, being in definition use means that all other things that are typecast are potentially error prone. Memory is considered uninitialized. 

NewArray 

Allocate a new array of type. 

NewObject 

Allocate sizeof(type). Will invoke some sort of registered initializer 

NewPlus 

an advantage of C, can define extra space at end of structure which is allowed to carry extra data, which is unknown by other code room for exploits rock. 

OpenSpaceEx 

Open a shared memory region. The region may be named with a text string (this does not work under linux platforms, and the name of the file to back the shared region is the sharing point). The region may be backed with a file (and must be if it is to be shared on linux.
If the region exists by name, the region is opened, and a pointer to that region is returned.
If the file exists, the file is opened, and mapped into memory, and a pointer to the file backed memory is returned.
if the file does... more 

Preallocate 

 

Reallocate 

 

Release 

Releases an allocated block. Memory becomes free to allocate again. If debugging information is passed, the releasing source and line is recorded in the block. (can be used to find code deallocating memory it shouldn't).
This also works with Hold(), and decrements the hold counter. If there are no more holds on the block, then the block is released. 

Renew 

Reallocates an array of type. 

StrDup 

Duplicates a string, and returns a pointer to the copy.
