◆ vlMemAlignment()

vl_uint_t vlMemAlignment ( vl_memory * mem)

Returns the alignment of the specified block of memory.

Minimum alignment is defined as VL_DEFAULT_MEMORY_ALIGN, or the largest available word size.

Parameters
mempointer to memory block
Returns
alignment

◆ vlMemAlloc()

vl_memory * vlMemAlloc ( vl_memsize_t allocSize)

Attempts to allocate a block of memory.

Returns NULL on failure.

Parameters
allocSizesize of the allocation, in bytes.
Returns
pointer to allocated block, or NULL.
+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ vlMemAllocAligned()

vl_memory * vlMemAllocAligned ( vl_memsize_t allocSize,
vl_uint_t align )

Allocates a block of memory with an alignment.

allocSize must be >= align or align must be < sizeof(uintptr_t), or this will return NULL. The alignment must be a power of 2 (16, 32, 64, etc), otherwise the behavior is undefined.

Guarantees that the returned pointer will have an value that is a multiple of the specified alignment.

The VL_MEMORY_PAD_UP macro may be used to ensure that the actual length of the memory block is also a multiple of the alignment.

Parameters
allocSizesize of the allocation, in bytes.
align
Returns
pointer to the aligned block

◆ vlMemReverseSubArraysStride()

void vlMemReverseSubArraysStride ( void * src,
vl_dsoffs_t srcStride,
vl_memsize_t elementSize,
vl_dsidx_t numElements )

Reverses the bytes in a series of elements of a defined length and stride between them.

This function operates on a sequence of elements (or sub-arrays) within a memory block, where each element is separated by a defined stride. It reverses the bytes of each individual element but does not alter the overall structure of the memory. The elements are processed sequentially, one by one, with each element's bytes reversed in-place.

This is useful when you need to reverse the bytes in each element of a collection of data structures that are tightly packed but may have a varying stride (i.e., distance between consecutive elements in memory).

Example: Suppose we have an array of 32-bit integers, each 4 bytes, with a stride of 8 bytes:

Input (elements of size 4 bytes, stride of 8 bytes): [0xAABBCCDD, 0x11223344, 0x55667788] Memory block: [0xAABBCCDD, pad, 0x11223344, pad, 0x55667788, pad] (Where 'pad' represents the unused memory between elements, i.e., stride.)

Output (each element reversed): [0xDDCCBBAA, 0x44332211, 0x88776655] Memory block: [0xDDCCBBAA, pad, 0x44332211, pad, 0x88776655, pad]

The bytes within each element are reversed, but the stride between elements is respected.

Parameters
srcmemory block pointer. The base address of the memory containing the elements to be reversed.
srcStridetotal number of bytes between each sub-array (or element). This defines the gap between consecutive elements.
elementSizesize of each sub-array (or element) in bytes. This is the number of bytes that constitute one element.
numElementstotal number of sub-arrays (or elements). This is the number of individual elements to process.
Complexity of O(n) linear.

◆ vlMemSize()

vl_memsize_t vlMemSize ( vl_memory * mem)

Returns the size (in total number of bytes) of the specified block of vl_memory.

mem pointer to memory block
Returns
size of the specified memory block, in bytes.
+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ vlMemSort()

void vlMemSort ( void * buffer,
vl_memsize_t elementSize,
vl_dsidx_t numElements,
vl_compare_function comparator )

Sorts the specified buffer in-place according to the specified element and comparator function.

This function implements an iterative Quicksort, allocating a temporary workspace on either the stack or the heap depending on the size of the data being sorted.

Parameters
buffer
elementSize
numElements
comparator
