Describes a max class object that limits a freelist object to a maximum length that is roughly proportional to the number of allocated memory blocks.

class max_variable_size

Header: <allocators>

Namespace: stdext

Increments the count of allocated memory blocks.

void allocated(std::size_t _Nx = 1);

This member function adds _Nx to the stored value _Nallocs. This member function is called after each successful call by cache_freelist::allocate to operator new. The argument _Nx is the number of memory blocks in the chunk allocated by operator new.

Decrements the count of allocated memory blocks.

void deallocated(std::size_t _Nx = 1);

The member function subtracts _Nx from the stored value _Nallocs. This member function is called after each call by cache_freelist::deallocate to operator delete. The argument _Nx is the number of memory blocks in the chunk deallocated by operator delete.

Returns a value that specifies whether more memory blocks should be added to the free list.

bool full();

true if _Nallocs / 16 + 16 <= _Nblocks.

This member function is called by cache_freelist::deallocate. If the call returns true, deallocate puts the memory block on the free list; if it returns false, deallocate calls operator delete to deallocate the block.

Constructs an object of type max_variable_size.

max_variable_size();

The constructor initializes the stored values _Nblocks and _Nallocs to zero.

Decrements the count of memory blocks on the free list.

void released();

This member function decrements the stored value _Nblocks. The released member function of the current max class is called by cache_freelist::allocate whenever it removes a memory block from the free list.

Increments the count of memory blocks on the free list.

void saved();

This member function increments the stored value _Nblocks. This member function is called by cache_freelist::deallocate whenever it puts a memory block on the free list.
