Felspar Memory Utilities

Memory utilities for C++ 20

A shared buffer into which data can be added at the end and a shared_buffer can be consumed from the front.

An std::any like type that can also be used with types that are not copyable. Items can only be placed in it when it's created

Similar to holding_pen and a std::atomic. It includes a mutex for controlling access to the value which means it lifts the type requirements that std::atomic imposes.

A function that takes a std::span<std::byte> and prints a hex dump of the memory content to the supplied stream.

hexdump(std::cout, span);

An std::optional like type that cannot be used to change a stored value, only placing a value when it's empty and then emptying again. This allows it to be used with movable types that are not assignable.

A simple type that abstracts the storage requirements for a type where the user tracks whether the storage is in use or not.

A region of contiguous memory that whose ownership is reference counted.

A small ring buffer that spills from the back when items are added to the front when full. Storage is embedded within the data structure using a compile time size.

A std::vector like type that has a single compile time specified capacity.

A function that implements three way strong ordering comparison for numeric types (integers, floats and pointers).

A basic allocator whose memory is embedded in the allocator itself. It is not intended to be used as a drop in allocator in std:: containers etc.
