# cheap.h & cheap.cpp
|
||||
|
||||
A wrapper interface for the class `GC::Heap` for easier use
|
||||
in LLVM (no nasty namespaces). This interface is relatively
|
||||
straight-forward and only defines functions to use the already
|
||||
public functions in the class `GC::Heap`.
|
||||
|
||||
The functions are declared in a normal C-style header and
|
||||
defined as "pure" C-functions. Because the public functions
|
||||
exposed in `GC::Heap` are static, some of the functions
|
||||
just call the static functions but are wrapped as C-functions.
|
||||
|
||||
For the non-static function `GC::Heap::set_profiler()` and the
|
||||
singleton get-instance function `GC::Heap::the()` a struct
|
||||
is used to encapsulate the heap-object. If this library is
|
||||
compiled with `DEBUG` defined a struct is typedef-ed and
|
||||
can be used everywhere, otherwise this struct is opaque
|
||||
and cannot be used explicitly. This struct only contains
|
||||
a pointer to the heap instance and is called `cheap_t`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Functions
|
||||
`cheap_t *cheap_the()`: Returns an encapsulated singleton
|
||||
instance. It is encapsulated in an opaque struct as the
|
||||
instance itself is not meant to be used outside the C++
|
||||
library.
|
||||
|
||||
`void cheap_init()`: Simply calls the `Heap::init()`
|
||||
function.
|
||||
|
||||
`void cheap_dispose()`: Only calls the `Heap::dispose()`
|
||||
function.
|
||||
|
||||
`void *cheap_alloc(unsigned long size)`: Calls `Heap::alloc(size_t size)`
|
||||
and returns whatever `alloc` returns.
|
||||
|
||||
`void cheap_set_profiler(cheap_t *cheap, bool mode)`:
|
||||
The argument `cheap` is the encapsulated Heap singleton instance.
|
||||
`mode` is the same as for `Heap::set_profiler(bool mode)`.
|
||||

||||
