Detailed Description

template<typename T, uint32_t pool_sz>
class rtos::MemoryPool< T, pool_sz >

Define and manage fixed-size memory pools of objects of a given type.

Template Parameters

T	data type of a single object (element).
queue_sz	maximum number of objects (elements) in the memory pool.

Note: Memory considerations: The memory pool data store and control structures will be created on current thread's stack, both for the mbed OS and underlying RTOS objects (static or dynamic RTOS memory pools are not being used).; Bare metal profile: This class is not supported.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MemoryPool ( )

Create and Initialize a memory pool.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.

Definition at line 66 of file MemoryPool.h.

~MemoryPool ( )

Destroy a memory pool.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.

Definition at line 82 of file MemoryPool.h.

Member Function Documentation

T* alloc ( )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, without blocking.

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context.

Deprecated:: Replaced with try_alloc. In future alloc() will be an untimed blocking call.

Definition at line 94 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* alloc_for ( uint32_t millisec )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, optionally blocking.

Parameters

millisec timeout value (osWaitForever to wait forever)

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context if the millisec parameter is set to 0.

Deprecated:: Replaced with try_alloc_for. For example use try_alloc_for(5s) rather than alloc_for(5000).

Definition at line 117 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* alloc_until ( uint64_t millisec )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, blocking.

Parameters

millisec absolute timeout time, referenced to Kernel::get_ms_count().

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.; the underlying RTOS may have a limit to the maximum wait time due to internal 32-bit computations, but this is guaranteed to work if the wait is <= 0x7fffffff milliseconds (~24 days). If the limit is exceeded, the wait will time out earlier than specified.

Deprecated:: Replaced with try_alloc_until. For example use try_alloc_until(Kernel::Clock::now() + 5s) rather than alloc_until(Kernel::get_ms_count() + 5000).

Definition at line 146 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* calloc ( )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, without blocking, and set memory block to zero.

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context.

Deprecated:: Replaced with try_calloc. In future calloc() will be an untimed blocking call.

Definition at line 182 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* calloc_for ( uint32_t millisec )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, optionally blocking, and set memory block to zero.

Parameters

millisec timeout value (osWaitForever to wait forever)

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context if the millisec parameter is set to 0.

Deprecated:: Replaced with try_calloc_for. For example use try_calloc_for(5s) rather than calloc_for(5000).

Definition at line 209 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* calloc_until ( uint64_t millisec )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, blocking, and set memory block to zero.

Parameters

millisec absolute timeout time, referenced to Kernel::get_ms_count().

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.; the underlying RTOS may have a limit to the maximum wait time due to internal 32-bit computations, but this is guaranteed to work if the wait is <= 0x7fffffff milliseconds (~24 days). If the limit is exceeded, the wait will time out earlier than specified.

Deprecated:: Replaced with try_calloc_until. For example use try_calloc_until(Kernel::Clock::now() + 5s) rather than calloc_until(Kernel::get_ms_count() + 5000).

Definition at line 242 of file MemoryPool.h.

osStatus free ( T * block )

Free a memory block.

Parameters

block address of the allocated memory block to be freed.

Returns: osOK on successful deallocation, osErrorParameter if given memory block id is nullptr or invalid, or osErrorResource if given memory block is in an invalid memory pool state.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context.

Definition at line 274 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* try_alloc ( )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, without blocking.

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context.

Definition at line 104 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* try_alloc_for ( Kernel::Clock::duration_u32 rel_time )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, optionally blocking.

Parameters

rel_time timeout value (Kernel::wait_for_u32_forever to wait forever)

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context if the rel_time parameter is set to 0.

Definition at line 128 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* try_alloc_until ( Kernel::Clock::time_point abs_time )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, blocking.

Parameters

abs_time absolute timeout time, referenced to Kernel::Clock.

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.; the underlying RTOS may have a limit to the maximum wait time due to internal 32-bit computations, but this is guaranteed to work if the wait is <= 0x7fffffff milliseconds (~24 days). If the limit is exceeded, the wait will time out earlier than specified.

Definition at line 161 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* try_calloc ( )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, without blocking, and set memory block to zero.

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context.

Definition at line 192 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* try_calloc_for ( Kernel::Clock::duration_u32 rel_time )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, optionally blocking, and set memory block to zero.

Parameters

rel_time timeout value (Kernel::wait_for_u32_forever to wait forever)

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You may call this function from ISR context if the rel_time parameter is set to 0.

Definition at line 220 of file MemoryPool.h.

T* try_calloc_until ( Kernel::Clock::time_point abs_time )

Allocate a memory block from a memory pool, blocking, and set memory block to zero.

Parameters

abs_time absolute timeout time, referenced to Kernel::Clock.

Returns: address of the allocated memory block or nullptr in case of no memory available.

Note: You cannot call this function from ISR context.; the underlying RTOS may have a limit to the maximum wait time due to internal 32-bit computations, but this is guaranteed to work if the wait is <= 0x7fffffff milliseconds (~24 days). If the limit is exceeded, the wait will time out earlier than specified.
