# std.experimental.allocator.mmap_allocator

Source std/experimental/allocator/mmap_allocator.d

struct `MmapAllocator`;
  Allocator (currently defined only for Posix and Windows) using mmap and munmap directly (or their Windows equivalents). There is no additional structure: each call to allocate(s) issues a call to mmap(null, s, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0), and each call to deallocate(b) issues munmap(b.ptr, b.length). So `MmapAllocator` is usually intended for allocating large chunks to be managed by fine-granular allocators.
  static shared const MmapAllocator `instance`;
    The one shared instance.
  enum size_t `alignment`;
    Alignment is page-size and hardcoded to 4096 (even though on certain systems it could be larger).
  shared const pure nothrow @nogc @safe void[] `allocate`(size_t `bytes`);
  shared const pure nothrow @nogc bool `deallocate`(void[] `b`);
    Allocator API.
