Method Free

Free(AllocatorHandle, void*, int, int, int)

Frees an allocation.

Declaration

public static void Free(AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle handle, void* pointer, int itemSizeInBytes, int alignmentInBytes, int items = 1)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle	handle	A handle to the allocator.
void*	pointer	A pointer to the allocated memory.
int	itemSizeInBytes	The size in bytes of the allocation.
int	alignmentInBytes	The alignment in bytes (must be a power of two).
int	items	The number of values that the memory was allocated for.

Remarks

For some allocators, the size of the allocation must be known to properly deallocate. Other allocators only need the pointer when deallocating and so will ignore itemSizeInBytes, alignmentInBytes and items.

Free(AllocatorHandle, void*)

Frees an allocation.

Declaration

public static void Free(AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle handle, void* pointer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle	handle	A handle to the allocator.
void*	pointer	A pointer to the allocated memory.

Free<T>(AllocatorHandle, T*, int)

Frees an allocation.

Declaration

public static void Free<T>(AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle handle, T* pointer, int items = 1) where T : unmanaged

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
AllocatorManager.AllocatorHandle	handle	A handle to the allocator.
T*	pointer	A pointer to the allocated memory.
int	items	The number of values that the memory was allocated for.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of value that the memory was allocated for.

Remarks

For some allocators, the size of the allocation must be known to properly deallocate. Other allocators only need the pointer when deallocating and so will ignore T and items.
