Full Changelog: v0.7-2...v0.7-3

Version 0.7-2

Deprecate virtual_memory_page_size; use get_virtual_memory_page_size() instead. (#132)

CMake improvements:

• Generate container node sizes using CMake, which makes cross-compiling easier (#129)
• Set CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY properly to support shared libraries (#132)

Version 0.7-1

Just bugfixes:

• CMake: automatically link libatomic on platforms where that is necessary (#95)
• catch small block sizes of memory_pool (#113)
• fix buffer overflow in memory_pool_collection's array allocation (#99)
• fix compatibility with Windows UWP (#102)
• fix computation of memory_pool::min_block_size (#110)
• fix debug assertion in free lists (#111)

Version 0.7

BREAKING: Removed the use of the compatibility library to automatically generate macros and workaround for older compilers. The important compatibility workarounds like the __builtin_clz extension are still used, but workarounds for missing C++11 library features have been removed. In particular, the library now requires compiler support for noexcept, constexpr, alignof and thread_local.This means that GCC 4.8 and Visual Studio version 12.0 (both released in 2013), are no longer supported.

Adapter

BREAKING: Remove Mutex support from allocator_reference and consequently from std_allocator, allocator_deleter, etc. Embedding the Mutex with the reference was fundamentally broken and unusable to ensure thread safety. Use a reference to a thread_safe_allocator instead, which actually guarantees thread safety.

Allocator

Add ability to query the minimal block size required by a memory_pool or memory_stack that should contain the given memory. Due to internal data structures and debug fences this is more than the naive memory request, so it can be computed now.

Bugfixes

• more CMake improvements for cross-compiling, among others
• bugfixes to support UWP (#80), VxWorks (#81) and QNX (#85, #88, among others)
• better support missing container node size (#59, #72, among others)
• fix alignment issues in debug mode
• fix tracking for allocators without block allocators

Version 0.6-2

Various bug fixes, compiler warning workarounds and CMake improvements accumulated over past two years.
Most notable changes:

• cross compilation works now
• fallback_allocator is default constructible if stateless
• add unique_base_ptr to support a unique ptr to a base class
• add allocate_unique overloads that take a custom mutex
• allocator deleters are default constructible

Version 0.6-1

• fix CMake configuration error
• fix double free error in segregator
• add static_assert() when default constructing a stateful std_allocator
• fix various compiler warnings

Version 0.6

Tool

• better MSVC support
• improved compilation time

Core

• add literal operators for memory sizes (4_KiB)
• more flexible make_block_allocator
• composable allocator concept

Allocator

• improved temporary_allocator: explicit separation into temporary_stack, improved automatic creation
• new memory_stack_raii_unwind for automatic unwinding
• new iteration_allocator
• make allocators composable
• add facilities for joint memory allocations

Adapter

• add shared_ptr_node_size
• add string container typedef
• add fallback_allocator
• add segregator

Bugfixes

• OSX support
• various warnings fixed

Version 0.5-3

Fixes a few minor bugs in memory_stack also the next_capacity() functions so that they return the exact results.

Array allocations in memory_pool_collection are improved and now supported for pool types that do not support them natively (small_node_pool) also add _left() to pool_capacity() and capacity() like in the other arenas.

Version 0.5-2

Fixes a crash in memory_pool<array_pool> that sometimes happens for array allocations.
Also fixes a non-critical performance bug in memory_pool<small_pool> and a typo in Readme.

Version 0.5-1

Drop-in replacement for version 0.5 that massively improves the performance.
