Memory managers have no * standard constructor: each implementation defines its own, and is * responsible for calling its superclass' initialization code first. * Similarly, each implementation's destructor (release) must first take * care of its own cleanup and then call the superclass' release. * * The allocation procedures must align objects as strictly as malloc. * Formerly, the procedures were required to align objects as strictly * as the compiler aligned structure members. However, the ANSI C standard * does not require this -- it only requires malloc to align blocks * strictly enough to prevent hardware access faults. Thus, for example, * on the x86, malloc need not align blocks at all. And in fact, we have * found one compiler (Microsoft VC 6) that 8-byte aligns 'double' members * of structures, but whose malloc only 4-byte aligns its blocks. * Ghostscript allocators could enforce the stricter alignment, but the * few dozen lines of code required to implement this were rejected during * code review as introducing too much risk for too little payoff. As a * consequence of this, * * CLIENTS CANNOT ASSUME THAT BLOCKS RETURNED BY ANY OF THE ALLOCATION * PROCEDURES ARE ALIGNED ANY MORE STRICTLY THAN IS REQUIRED BY THE * HARDWARE. * * In particular, clients cannot assume that blocks returned by an allocator * can be processed efficiently in any unit larger than a single byte: there * is no guarantee that accessing any larger quantity will not require two * memory accesses at the hardware level. Clients that want to process data * efficiently in larger units must use ALIGNMENT_MOD to determine the * actual alignment of the data in memory. */ /* * Allocate bytes.
