@pacmaninbw, hi! Have you written or seen memory allocators? I'm currently writing allocator library, but am struggling with the interface a lot

A piece if iron at 20 degrees and 200degrees look exactly the same
 
I have but not in a really long time, and it was in C, not C++.
 
@pacmaninbw, do you have any classification of them? Currently I classified them in terms of their abstraction from raw memory. I've tried to implement interface mentioned in this talk but then found that it is flawed
 
@Kaz But it really doesn't feel the same when you pick it up.
 
@Kaz but a person touching a piece of iron at 20 degrees and 200 degrees doesn't
 
5:53 PM
@DanLyons they don't sound the same either

How does a piece of iron at 200 degrees sound?
 
I meant the person touching it
 
In that case you are absolutely correct.
 
Kaz
Bonus lesson: A piece of iron can be at 30 degrees where you're holding it, and 300 degrees just 8" further down
 
if in doubt, use a water dropper and listen for the sizzle

@Olzhas Are you writing a container class?
 
@Duga rolled back.
 
@pacmaninbw, I tried to write one, but then found that it's going to be terribly slow without specific allocator. Then I've got carried away and started to write my own allocator library. Failed attempt.
at least I figured out how to not write allocators. The problem with the failed attempt is that some allocators support some interfaces and some not. Basically, chaos.
now I'm writing a paper first. First attempt failed solely because I was thinking that I'm almighty
 
6:11 PM
Been there, done that, won't try to start a business again.
Did you find this in your search en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/allocator?
 
std::allocator is complete failure. It is not designed to allocate things, it is a factory
 
So you're trying to re-write new and delete?
 
@pacmaninbw, no. I'm trying to create whole hierarchy. new and delete are kinda factories. What I want to write first is raw memory allocator. Then provide a facade for typed allocator. Currently it will just control the memory allocation strategy, it doesn't care about types at all
my stack_allocator got ~30-50% faster on average than std::malloc(). This is what I want: to not repeat failures of the people of the past., because they were just mandated to do so.
 
You're getting into system calls here. Basically what you're saying is that you want to write malloc() and then you want to write new over malloc?
 
@pacmaninbw, close. I want memory source, which just "supplies memory", and facades that doesn't really care from where the memory came from. Facades are strategies, for example a freelist allocator. Then seggregators, bucketizers, and all of that stuff

Well, lost 18 rep to mortar so far.
 
@EBrown, how did you get 9 downvotes?
 
@Olzhas No, I mean I missed out on it because of capping.
 
@pacmaninbw, if you're interested I can send you a paper that I'm writing (though it is now rather a fairy tale written by kid).
 
@Olzhas The safest way to do what you are trying to do is to malloc() a huge block of memory and create you allocator on top of that, otherwise you need to look at malloc source code and utilize the system calls it makes. Keep in mind that you're going to need to handle thread safety here.
The paper would be interesting.
If I was writing embedded code I might do what I'm suggesting to you. malloc() as much memory as I can safely use and then track all allocations from that block.
 
6:28 PM
@pacmaninbw, I'm doing exactly what you said on mallocator (it's just malloc wrapped in a class). Send me something to my email, I'll reply you with the next version of the paper (I need to fix some bugs in the paper, too). The email is on my about page ^^
I'll reply with the paper when I'll assure that it doesn't contain bugs. I'll also try to define interface for the first 2 layers of abstraction

@Duga, it's fine
 
@Olzhas I want you to test out something that used to work on SunOS and Solaris. Allocate a huge block of memory, then free it, then try your performance tests using malloc(). Because you've already allocated the huge block once, your process still owns the huge block. Your mallocs should be much faster at this point. This is what we did 30 years ago to get around the malloc() performance issues.
Think of mallocing at least a Gigabyte in this test.
 
@pacmaninbw, I've thrashed the heap with filling it with random numbers on each run, since it would be unfair to compare with stackallocator then
otherwise, std::malloc() is slightly faster than stack allocator

^^@Olzhas
 
6:41 PM
@pacmaninbw, stack store is good, but stack allocator is definitely a step back
no composability. I would like it to be unaware of which memory it holds now: stack, static or heap. Strategies are abstract enough to deal with that
stack allocator is nothing more than placement new in that post
btw, @pacmaninbw, are you that old? :D

If you don't need to keep both the arrays with all values and unique values, then just re-use the same variables for the unique. And if you wanted to just not worry about the unique, depending on the content of the original array, you can make an associative array so that when there is a duplicate you end up overwriting the value instead of adding a duplicate. Without more code, it is hard to tell what you are doing. But either way, this is likely off topic for SO. SO is for fixing code, but however ugly, this code works. There is a codereview.stackexchange.com that might be better. — Jonathan Kuhn 34 secs ago

@pacmaninbw Hi.

@Hosch250 It's not ruled out when you have a job though, depending on the workplace
 
@EBrown Didn't start programming until I was 10.
 
@pacmaninbw I didn't start until I was 18.
 
@pacmaninbw Very nice.
 
I didn't know that computers existed at that time, lol
 
Gosh, 50 years ago. You started around the time they put people on the moon.
 
6:53 PM
Assembly :(
@Hosch250 2 years before that actually.
 
Nowadays people torture themselves for fun with Brainfuck
 
Close enough for a wild guess.
 
Pretty good, yeah
 
So, which languages do you know?
 
@skiwi Brainfuck isn't hard to programme in, if you think about it correctly. It's just very unreadable.
 
6:55 PM
@Olzhas Computers actually predate my birth by a few years.
 
@EBrown Kind of like your Br-En words?
BTW, do you spell "jail" as "gaol"?
 
Pascal, Basic, Cobal, Fortran 66, Snobol, C, C++, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML. You won't find some of those on my resume.
 
@Hosch250 It's en-GB, IIRC.
 
Oh, OK.
@pacmaninbw I can believe that.
 
2 or 3 different assemblers.
 
Really I didn't think they still used it.
 
I guess I'd say I'm an advanced user of C# (not advanced programmer, just know the language pretty well), can figured out things pretty well with VB.NET, JAVA, JS, HTML, and CSS, and I can read most C/C++ (except understanding everything that goes on with pointers) and Python.
 
Cobol is probably the best Data Definion language around.
Pointers are fairly easy if you can grasp the underlying principles.
 
@Hosch250, no templates, no C++.
 
I'm sure I could if I tried, but I never use them.
So, every time I learn the syntax, I just go and forget it again.
 
7:01 PM
It is really easy to screw up pointers.
 
I understand the underlying principles, sort of, like passing around a pointer to an actual memory location instead of relying on the system to understand where it is.
 
Yes, and always keep in mind that pointers aren't the same between processes, that's part of why threads became important, along with less overhead than a process has.
 
@Hosch250, actually it is not about an address, but about interpretation of it (e.g. casts). This is where the funny things start, like aligned memory, undefined behavior if it's not POD, and so on.
 
Hmm.
 
By George I think he's got it.
Machine word size is very important with raw pointers, that's what made new and delete a joy to work with, you didn't need to calculate the size.
 
7:04 PM
All I know is that you have an "address" that can be stored in an int, and you can get a value from it by loading it into a variable of a certain type.
@pacmaninbw Like IntPtr in C#.
 
In C just cast the pointer, but don't depend on the size.
 
@Hosch250, it's very dangerous to assume that it's int. it's std::inptptr_t or std::uintptr_t, in cstdint, or stdint.h in C
 
OK.
 
OK, I've talked enough about the glory days. See ya all later.
 
see you

Welcome to CR! I think the code for your custom language's grammar, lexer, parser, compiler and/or interpreter would be a perfect fit for a peer review on this site. But it seems you're asking for opinions on the design of the compiled byte code... I think it would be better to ask for a peer review of the compiler code that generates this byte code instead; you'd potentially get the same design/optimization feedback you're asking for (i.e. feedback on any/all aspects of the code), while also opening answers to a much broader audience. — Mat's Mug ♦ 6 secs ago
