Detailed Description

The Resource class is a convenient way to track allocated resources. It tracks them as indicies in the range [0 .. elements - 1]. E.g. the library uses this to track hardware channel allocation.

The Resource class does not allocate the hardware channels or other resources; it just tracks which indices were marked in use by Allocate and not yet freed by Free.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Resource::~Resource ( )

virtual

Delete the allocated array or resources. This happens when the module is unloaded (provided it was statically allocated).

Definition at line 52 of file Resource.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t Resource::Allocate

(

const char *

resourceDesc

)

Allocate a resource. When a resource is requested, mark it allocated. In this case, a free resource value within the range is located and returned after it is marked allocated.

Definition at line 62 of file Resource.cpp.

uint32_t Resource::Allocate	(	uint32_t	index,
		const char *	resourceDesc
	)

Allocate a specific resource value. The user requests a specific resource value, i.e. channel number and it is verified unallocated, then returned.

Definition at line 82 of file Resource.cpp.

void Resource::CreateResourceObject ( Resource **  r, uint32_t  elements  )

static

Factory method to create a Resource allocation-tracker if needed.

Parameters

r	– address of the caller's Resource pointer. If *r == NULL, this will construct a Resource and make *r point to it. If *r != NULL, i.e. the caller already has a Resource instance, this won't do anything.
elements	– the number of elements for this Resource allocator to track, that is, it will allocate resource numbers in the range [0 .. elements - 1].

Definition at line 39 of file Resource.cpp.

void Resource::Free

(

uint32_t

index

)

Free an allocated resource. After a resource is no longer needed, for example a destructor is called for a channel assignment class, Free will release the resource value so it can be reused somewhere else in the program.
