# std.experimental.allocator.common

Utility and ancillary artifacts of std.experimental.allocator. This module shouldn't be used directly; its functionality will be migrated into more appropriate parts of std.
Authors:
Andrei Alexandrescu, Timon Gehr (Ternary)

Source std/experimental/allocator/common.d

template `stateSize`(T)
  Returns the size in bytes of the state that needs to be allocated to hold an object of type T. `stateSize`!T is zero for structs that are not nested and have no nonstatic member variables.
enum auto `hasStaticallyKnownAlignment`(Allocator);
  Returns true if the Allocator has the alignment known at compile time; otherwise it returns false.
enum uint `chooseAtRuntime`;
  `chooseAtRuntime` is a compile-time constant of type size_t that several parameterized structures in this module recognize to mean deferral to runtime of the exact value. For example, BitmappedBlock!(Allocator, 4096) (described in detail below) defines a block allocator with block size of 4096 bytes, whereas BitmappedBlock!(Allocator, `chooseAtRuntime`) defines a block allocator that has a field storing the block size, initialized by the user.
enum uint `unbounded`;
  `unbounded` is a compile-time constant of type size_t that several parameterized structures in this module recognize to mean "infinite" bounds for the parameter. For example, Freelist (described in detail below) accepts a maxNodes parameter limiting the number of freelist items. If `unbounded` is passed for maxNodes, then there is no limit and no checking for the number of nodes.
enum uint `platformAlignment`;
  The alignment that is guaranteed to accommodate any D object allocation on the current platform.
size_t `goodAllocSize`(A)(auto ref A `a`, size_t `n`);
  The default good size allocation is deduced as `n` rounded up to the allocator's alignment.
bool `reallocate`(Allocator)(ref Allocator `a`, ref void[] `b`, size_t `s`);
  The default `reallocate` function first attempts to use expand. If Allocator.expand is not defined or returns `false`, `reallocate` allocates `a` new block of memory of appropriate size and copies data from the old block to the new block. Finally, if Allocator defines deallocate, `reallocate` uses it to free the old memory block.
  `reallocate` does not attempt to use Allocator.`reallocate` even if defined. This is deliberate so allocators may use it internally within their own implementation of `reallocate`.
bool `alignedReallocate`(Allocator)(ref Allocator `alloc`, ref void[] `b`, size_t `s`, uint `a`)
if (hasMember!(Allocator, "alignedAllocate"));
  The default `alignedReallocate` function first attempts to use expand. If Allocator.expand is not defined or returns `false`, `alignedReallocate` allocates `a` new block of memory of appropriate size and copies data from the old block to the new block. Finally, if Allocator defines deallocate, `alignedReallocate` uses it to free the old memory block.
  `alignedReallocate` does not attempt to use Allocator.reallocate even if defined. This is deliberate so allocators may use it internally within their own implementation of reallocate.
string `forwardToMember`(string `member`, string[] `funs`...);
  Forwards each of the methods in `funs` (if defined) to `member`.
