Memory manager interface
|
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A memory manager for AssemblyScript must implement the following common and may implement any number of optional interfaces:

|
|
|
Common
|
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **__mem_allocate**(size: `usize`): `usize`<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Dynamically allocates a chunk of memory of at least the specified size and returns its address.
|
|
|
|
|
Alignment must be guaranteed to be at least 8 bytes, but there are considerations to increase
|
|
|
|
|
alignment to 16 bytes to fit SIMD v128 values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **__mem_free**(ref: `usize`): `void`<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Frees a dynamically allocated chunk of memory by its address.
|
|
|

Resets dynamic memory to its initial state. Used by the arena allocator.
