When you need to allocate some heap storage for something, always try to use this class instead of allocating the memory directly using malloc/free. A HeapBlock object can be treated in pretty much exactly the same way as an char*, but as long as you allocate it on the stack or as a class member, it's almost impossible for it to leak memory. It also makes your code much more concise and readable than doing the same thing using direct allocations, E.g. instead of this: @code int* temp = (int*) malloc (1024 * sizeof (int)); memcpy (temp, xyz, 1024 * sizeof (int)); free (temp); temp = (int*) calloc (2048 * sizeof (int)); temp[0] = 1234; memcpy (foobar, temp, 2048 * sizeof (int)); free (temp); @endcode ..you could just write this: @code HeapBlock temp (1024); memcpy (temp, xyz, 1024 * sizeof (int)); temp.calloc (2048); temp[0] = 1234; memcpy (foobar, temp, 2048 * sizeof (int)); @endcode The class is extremely lightweight, containing only a pointer to the data, and exposes malloc/realloc/calloc/free methods that do the same jobs as their less object-oriented counterparts. Despite adding safety, you probably won't sacrifice any performance by using this in place of normal pointers. The throwOnFailure template parameter can be set to true if you'd like the class to throw a std::bad_alloc exception when an allocation fails. If this is false, then a failed allocation will just leave the heapblock with a null pointer (assuming that the system's malloc() function doesn't throw). @see Array, OwnedArray, MemoryBlock */ template class HeapBlock { public: //============================================================================== /** Creates a HeapBlock which is initially just a null pointer.
