Detailed Description

template<std::size_t PoolSize, uint8_t BlockSize, typename RaiiSynchronizer = char>
class uavcan::PoolAllocator< PoolSize, BlockSize, RaiiSynchronizer >

Classic implementation of a pool allocator (Meyers).

The allocator can be made thread-safe (optional) by means of providing a RAII-lock type via the second template argument. The allocator uses the lock only to access the shared state, therefore critical sections are only a few cycles long, which implies that it should be acceptable to use hardware IRQ disabling instead of a mutex for performance reasons. For example, an IRQ-based RAII-lock type can be implemented as follows: struct RaiiSynchronizer { RaiiSynchronizer() { __disable_irq(); } ~RaiiSynchronizer() { __enable_irq(); } };
