Examples

Typedef Documentation

size_t

using os::rtos::memory_pool::size_t = uint16_t

Type of memory pool size storage.

A numeric value that can hold the maximum size of the memory pool, usually a 16-bits unsigned value.

Definition at line 82 of file os-mempool.h.

Variable Documentation

initializer

const memory_pool::attributes os::rtos::memory_pool::initializer

static

Default memory pool initialiser.

This variable is used by the default constructor.

Definition at line 165 of file os-mempool.h.

max_size

constexpr memory_pool::size_t os::rtos::memory_pool::max_size

staticconstexpr

Initial value:

=
          static_cast<memory_pool::size_t> (0 - 1)

Maximum pool size.

A constant numeric value used to validate the pool size.
