## Detailed Description

### template\<class TypeImpl\> class corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>

**AbstractAllocator** is a abstract template which provides for the extension of memory managment on a TypeImpl object by TypeImpl object basis.

The derivation needs to implement the allocateObject and deallocateObject mutators for memory management.

**See also:**

**Allocator**, **AbstractFactory**

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### template\<class TypeImpl\> corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>::AbstractAllocator (const AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \> & aRef)` [inline]`

Copy constructor. **Parameters:**

*AbstractAllocator* const reference

## Member Function Documentation

### template\<class TypeImpl\> virtual TypeImpl\* corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>::allocateObject (void)` [protected, pure virtual]`

allocates a object in the subclass **Returns:**

TypeImpl pointer

Implemented in **WallFactory**.

### template\<class TypeImpl\> TypeImpl\* corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>::createType (void)` [inline]`

Create type will invoke the allocateObject method of the derivation and will increment the number of allocations. In the event of any exception, the allocation count will be adjusted.

**Returns:**

TypeImpl pointer

**Exceptions:**

*any* .RE

### template\<class TypeImpl\> virtual void corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>::deallocateObject (TypeImpl \*)` [protected, pure virtual]`

de-allocates a object in the subclass **Parameters:**

*TypeImpl* pointer

### template\<class TypeImpl\> void corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>::destroyType (TypeImpl \* aPtr)` [inline]`

Destroy type will invoke the deallocateObject method of the derivation and will increment the number of deallocation. In the event of any exception, the deallocation count will be adjusted

**Parameters:**

*TypeImpl* pointer

**Exceptions:**

*any* .RE

### template\<class TypeImpl\> AbstractAllocator& corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>::operator= (const AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \> & aRef)` [inline]`

Assingment operator overload. **Parameters:**

*AbstractAllocator* const reference

**Returns:**

**AbstractAllocator** reference to self

### template\<class TypeImpl\> bool corelinux::AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \>::operator== (const AbstractAllocator\< TypeImpl \> & aRef) const` [inline]`

Equality operator overload. **Parameters:**

*AbstractAllocator* const reference

**Returns:**

true if same identity
