Default allocation function for handlers.
void * asio_handler_allocate( std::size_t size, ... );
Asynchronous operations may need to allocate temporary objects. Since asynchronous operations have a handler function object, these temporary objects can be said to be associated with the handler.
Implement asio_handler_allocate and asio_handler_deallocate for your own handlers to provide custom allocation for these temporary objects.
The default implementation of these allocation hooks uses operator
new
and operator
delete
.
All temporary objects associated with a handler will be deallocated before the upcall to the handler is performed. This allows the same memory to be reused for a subsequent asynchronous operation initiated by the handler.
class my_handler; void* asio_handler_allocate(std::size_t size, my_handler* context) { return ::operator new(size); } void asio_handler_deallocate(void* pointer, std::size_t size, my_handler* context) { ::operator delete(pointer); }
