GhosttyAllocator class final

Custom memory allocator.

For functions that take an allocator pointer, a NULL pointer indicates that the default allocator should be used. The default allocator will be libc malloc/free if we're linking to libc. If libc isn't linked, a custom allocator is used (currently Zig's SMP allocator).

@ingroup allocator

Usage example: @code GhosttyAllocator allocator = { .vtable = &my_allocator_vtable, .ctx = my_allocator_state }; @endcode

Properties

address → Pointer<T>

Available on T, provided by the StructAddress extension

The memory address of the underlying data.

no setter

ctx ↔ Pointer<Void>

Opaque context pointer passed to all vtable functions. This allows the allocator implementation to maintain state or reference external resources needed for memory management.

getter/setter pair

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

vtable ↔ Pointer<GhosttyAllocatorVtable>

Pointer to the allocator's vtable containing function pointers for memory operations (alloc, resize, remap, free).

getter/setter pair

Methods

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.
