/*! \defgroup v2malloc The v2 malloc API

\warning This API is being completely retired in v1.10 beta 2 and replaced with the API
being developed for inclusion into the C1X programming language standard

For the v1.10 release which was generously sponsored by
<a href="http://www.ara.com/" target="_blank">Applied Research Associates (USA)</a>, 
a new general purpose allocator API was designed which is intended to remedy many 
of the long standing problems and inefficiencies introduced by the ISO C allocator 
API. Internally nedalloc's implementations of nedmalloc(), nedcalloc(), nedmemalign() 
and nedrealloc() call into this API:

<ul>
	<li><code>void* malloc2(size_t bytes, size_t alignment, unsigned flags)</code></li>
	<li><code>void* realloc2(void* mem, size_t bytes, size_t alignment, unsigned 
	flags)</code></li>
	<li><code>void free2(void* mem, unsigned flags)</code></li>
</ul>

If nedmalloc.h is being included by C++ code, the alignment and flags parameters 
default to zero which makes the new API identical to the old API (roll on the introduction 
of default parameters to C!). The ability for realloc2() to take an alignment is
<em>particularly</em> useful for extending aligned vector arrays such as SSE/AVX 
vector arrays. Hitherto SSE/AVX vector code had to jump through all sorts of unpleasant 
hoops to maintain alignment :(.

Note that using any of these flags other than M2_ZERO_MEMORY or any alignment 
other than zero inhibits the threadcache.

Currently MREMAP support is limited to Linux and Windows. Patches implementing 
support for other platforms are welcome.

On Linux the non portable mremap() kernel function is currently used, so in fact 
the M2_RESERVE_* options are currently ignored.

On Windows, there are two different MREMAP implementations which are chosen according 
to whether a 32 bit or a 64 bit build is being performed. The 32 bit implementation 
is based on Win32 file mappings where it reserves the address space within the Windows 
VM system, so you can safely specify silly reservation quantities like 2Gb per block 
and not exhaust local process address space. Note however that on x86 this costs 
2Kb (1Kb if PAE is off) of kernel memory per Mb reserved, and as kernel memory has 
a hard limit of 447Mb on x86 you will find the total address space reservable in 
the system is limited. On x64, or if you define WIN32_DIRECT_USE_FILE_MAPPINGS=0 
on x86, a much faster implementation of using VirtualAlloc(MEM_RESERVE) to directly 
reserve the address space is used.

When using M2_RESERVE_* with realloc2(), the setting only takes effect when the 
mmapped chunk has exceeded its reservation space and a new reservation space needs 
to be created.

/*! \def M2_ZERO_MEMORY
\ingroup v2malloc
\brief Sets the contents of the allocated block (or any increase in the allocated 
block) to zero.

Note that this zeroes only the increase from what dlmalloc thinks 
the chunk's size is, so if you realloc2() a block which wasn't allocated using 
malloc2() using this flag then you may have garbage just before the newly extended 
space.

\li <strong>Rationale:</strong> Memory returned by the system is guaranteed to 
be zero on most platforms, and hence dlmalloc knows when it can skip zeroing 
memory. This improves performance.

\brief Cause realloc2() to attempt to extend a block in place, but to never move

\li <strong>Rationale:</strong> C++ makes almost no use of realloc(), even for 
contiguous arrays such as std::vector<> because most C++ objects cannot be relocated 
in memory without a copy or rvalue construction (though some clever STL implementations 
specialise for Plain Old Data (POD) types, and use realloc() then and only then). 
This flag allows C++ containers to speculatively try to extend in place, thus 
improving performance <em>especially</em> for large allocations which will use 
mmap().

needs allocating.

\li <strong>Rationale:</strong> If you know that an array you are allocating 
is going to be repeatedly extended up into the hundred of kilobytes range, then 
you can avoid the constant memory copying into larger blocks by specifying this 
flag at the beginning along with one of the M2_RESERVE_* flags below. This can
<strong>greatly</strong> improve performance for large arrays.

  independent_calloc is similar to calloc, but instead of returning a
  single cleared space, it returns an array of pointers to n_elements
  independent elements that can hold contents of size elem_size, each
  of which starts out cleared, and can be independently freed,
  realloc'ed etc. The elements are guaranteed to be adjacently
  allocated (this is not guaranteed to occur with multiple callocs or
  mallocs), which may also improve cache locality in some
  applications.

  The "chunks" argument is optional (i.e., may be null, which is
  probably the most typical usage). If it is null, the returned array
  is itself dynamically allocated and should also be freed when it is
  no longer needed. Otherwise, the chunks array must be of at least
  n_elements in length. It is filled in with the pointers to the
  chunks.

  In either case, independent_calloc returns this pointer array, or
  null if the allocation failed.  If n_elements is zero and "chunks"
  is null, it returns a chunk representing an array with zero elements
  (which should be freed if not wanted).

  Each element must be individually freed when it is no longer
  needed. If you'd like to instead be able to free all at once, you
  should instead use regular calloc and assign pointers into this
  space to represent elements.  (In this case though, you cannot
  independently free elements.)

  independent_calloc simplifies and speeds up implementations of many
  kinds of pools.  It may also be useful when constructing large data
  structures that initially have a fixed number of fixed-sized nodes,
  but the number is not known at compile time, and some of the nodes
  may later need to be freed. For example:

  struct Node { int item; struct Node* next; };

  struct Node* build_list() {
    struct Node** pool;
    int n = read_number_of_nodes_needed();
    if (n <= 0) return 0;
    pool = (struct Node**)(independent_calloc(n, sizeof(struct Node), 0);
    if (pool == 0) die();
    // organize into a linked list...
    struct Node* first = pool[0];
    for (i = 0; i < n-1; ++i)
      pool[i]->next = pool[i+1];
    free(pool);     // Can now free the array (or not, if it is needed later)
    return first;
  }

/*! \brief Returns a series of guaranteed consecutive allocations.

  independent_comalloc allocates, all at once, a set of n_elements
  chunks with sizes indicated in the "sizes" array.    It returns
  an array of pointers to these elements, each of which can be
  independently freed, realloc'ed etc. The elements are guaranteed to
  be adjacently allocated (this is not guaranteed to occur with
  multiple callocs or mallocs), which may also improve cache locality
  in some applications.

  The "chunks" argument is optional (i.e., may be null). If it is null
  the returned array is itself dynamically allocated and should also
  be freed when it is no longer needed. Otherwise, the chunks array
  must be of at least n_elements in length. It is filled in with the
  pointers to the chunks.

  In either case, independent_comalloc returns this pointer array, or
  null if the allocation failed.  If n_elements is zero and chunks is
  null, it returns a chunk representing an array with zero elements
  (which should be freed if not wanted).

  Each element must be individually freed when it is no longer
  needed. If you'd like to instead be able to free all at once, you
  should instead use a single regular malloc, and assign pointers at
  particular offsets in the aggregate space. (In this case though, you
  cannot independently free elements.)

  independent_comallac differs from independent_calloc in that each
  element may have a different size, and also that it does not
  automatically clear elements.

  independent_comalloc can be used to speed up allocation in cases
  where several structs or objects must always be allocated at the
  same time.  For example:

  struct Head { ... }
  struct Foot { ... }

  void send_message(char* msg) {
    int msglen = strlen(msg);
    size_t sizes[3] = { sizeof(struct Head), msglen, sizeof(struct Foot) };
    void* chunks[3];
    if (independent_comalloc(3, sizes, chunks) == 0)
      die();
    struct Head* head = (struct Head*)(chunks[0]);
    char*        body = (char*)(chunks[1]);
    struct Foot* foot = (struct Foot*)(chunks[2]);
    // ...
  }

  In general though, independent_comalloc is worth using only for
  larger values of n_elements. For small values, you probably won't
  detect enough difference from series of malloc calls to bother.

  Overuse of independent_comalloc can increase overall memory usage,
  since it cannot reuse existing noncontiguous small chunks that
  might be available for some of the elements.

/*! \defgroup C++ C++ language support

Thanks to the generous support of Applied Research Associates (USA), nedalloc has extensive
C++ language support which uses C++ metaprogramming techniques to provide a policy driven
STL container reimplementor. The metaprogramming silently overrides or replaces the STL implementation
on your system (MSVC and GCC are the two currently supported) to \b substantially improve
the performance of STL containers by making use of nedalloc's additional features.

Sounds difficult to use? Not really. Simply do this:
\code
using namespace nedalloc;
typedef nedallocatorise<std::vector, unsigned int, 
	nedpolicy::typeIsPOD<true>::policy,
	nedpolicy::mmap<>::policy,
	nedpolicy::reserveN<26>::policy			// 1<<26 = 64Mb. 10,000,000 * sizeof(unsigned int) = 38Mb.
>::value myvectortype;
myvectortype a;
for(int n=0; n<10000000; n++)
    a.push_back(n);
\endcode

The metaprogramming requires a new C++ compiler (> year 2008), and it will readily make use
of a C++0x compiler where it will use rvalue referencing, variadic templates, type traits and more.
Visual Studio 2008 or later is sufficent, as is GCC v4.4 or later.

nedalloc's metaprogramming is designed to be extensible, so the rest of this page is intended for those
wishing to customise the metaprogramming. If you simply wish to know how to use the
nedalloc::nedallocator STL allocator or the nedalloc::nedallocatorise STL reimplementor, please refer
to test.cpp which gives several examples of usage.

<h2>Extending the metaprogramming:</h2>
A nedallocator policy looks as follows:
\code
namespace nedpolicy {
	template<size_t size, size_t alignment> struct sizedalign
	{
		template<class Base> class policy : public Base
		{
			template<class implementation> friend class nedallocatorI::baseimplementation;
		protected:
			size_t policy_alignment(size_t bytes) const
			{
				return (bytes < size) ? alignment : 0;
			}
		};
	};
}
\endcode
The policy above implements a size based alignment, so if the block being allocated is
less than \em size then it causes \em alignment to be used, otherwise it does not align.
The sizedalign struct is merely a template parameter encapsulator used to capture
additional parameters, so the real policy is in fact the class policy held within in.
If you did not need to specify any additional parameters e.g. if you were defining
policy_nedpool(), then you would directly define a policy returning your nedpool and pass
it directly to nedallocator<>.

The primary policy functions which are intended to be overridden are listed in
nedalloc::nedallocatorI::baseimplementation in nedmalloc.h and are prefixed by "policy_".
However, there is absolutely no reason why the meatier functions such as
nedalloc::nedallocatorI::baseimplementation::allocate() cannot be overriden, and indeed
some of the policies defined in nedmalloc.h do just that.

Policy composition is handled by a dedicated recursive variadic template called
nedalloc::nedallocatorI::policycompositor. If you have \em really specialised needs, you
can partially specialise this class to make it do all sorts of interesting things - hence
its separation into its own class.

\ingroup C++
\brief Reimplements a given STL container to make full and efficient usage of nedalloc
\param stlcontainer The STL container you wish to reimplement
\param T The type to be contained
\param policies... Any policies you want applied to the allocator


This is a clever bit of C++ metaprogramming if I do say so myself! What it does
is to specialise a STL container implementation to make full use of nedalloc's
advanced facilities, so for example if you do:
\code
using namespace nedalloc;
typedef nedallocatorise<std::vector, unsigned int, 
	nedpolicy::typeIsPOD<true>::policy,
	nedpolicy::mmap<>::policy,
	nedpolicy::reserveN<26>::policy			// 1<<26 = 64Mb. 10,000,000 * sizeof(unsigned int) = 38Mb.
>::value myvectortype;
myvectortype a;
for(int n=0; n<10000000; n++)
    a.push_back(n);
\endcode
What happens here is that nedallocatorise reimplements the parts of
std::vector which extend and shrink the actual memory allocation.
Because the typeIsPOD policy is specified, it means that realloc()
rather than realloc(M2_PREVENT_MOVE) can be used. Also, because the
mmap and the reserveN policies are specified, std::vector immediately
reserves 64Mb of address space and forces the immediate use of mmap().
This allows you to push_back() a lot of data very, very quickly indeed.
You will also find that pop_back() actually reduces the allocation now
(most implementations don't bother ever releasing memory except when
reaching empty or when resize() is called). When mmapped, reserve()
is automatically held at a minimum of &lt;page size&gt;/sizeof(type) though
larger values are respected.

test.cpp has a benchmark of the speed differences you may realise, plus
an example of usage.
