Pointer to memory region.

Inherits from Pointer.

Initialization

static function create(lo: Integer, hi: Integer, size: Integer, owned: Boolean): Memory

Creates a new memory region at given address and size. You can specify if it should automatically deallocate it using free function (when it's owned).

static function from_shared_array(shared_array[, offset: Integer, size: Integer]): Memory

Creates a memory view for the region used by the shared array with given byte offset and size (or whole array). The reference to the shared array is kept.

static function from_pointer(ptr: Pointer, offset: Integer, size: Integer): Memory

Creates a new memory region at address from given pointer using offset and size. The memory region is unowned, you must keep reference to the original memory to prevent crashes.

Allocation

static function alloc(size: Integer): Memory

Allocates a new memory region with given size. The memory is zeroed.

static function alloc_fast(size: Integer): Memory

Allocates a new memory region with given size. The memory is not zeroed.

function realloc(size: Integer): Memory

Rellocates the memory region with a new size. The old pointer must not be used.

function free()

Frees the memory region.

Properties

function get_size(): Integer

Returns the size of the memory region.

function is_owned(): Boolean

Utility functions

static function for_string_utf8(s: String): Memory

Returns a new memory region with given UTF-8 zero-terminated string.
