Functions

Public

Overridden from FMalloc

Name Remarks Include Path Unreal Specifiers

virtual void DumpAllocatorStats ( FOutputDevice& Ar
)

 Dumps allocator stats to an output device. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void Free ( void* Ptr
)

 Free HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual bool GetAllocationSize ( void* Original,
SIZE_T& SizeOut
)

 If possible determine the size of the memory allocated at the given address HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void GetAllocatorStats ( FGenericMemoryStats& out_Stats
)

 Writes allocator stats from the last update into the specified destination. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual const TCHAR * GetDescriptiveName()

 Gets descriptive name for logging purposes. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void InitializeStatsMetadata ()

 Initializes stats metadata. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual bool IsInternallyThreadSafe()

 Returns if the allocator is guaranteed to be thread-safe and therefore doesn't need a unnecessary thread-safety wrapper around it. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void * Malloc ( SIZE_T Size,
uint32 Alignment
)

 Malloc HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void OnMallocInitialized()

 Notifies the malloc implementation that initialization of all allocators in GMalloc is complete, so it's safe to initialize any extra features that require "regular" allocations HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void OnPostFork()

 Notifies the malloc implementation that the process has forked so we can try and avoid dirtying pre-fork pages. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void OnPreFork ()

 Notifies the malloc implementation that the process is about to fork. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void * Realloc ( void* Ptr,
SIZE_T NewSize,
uint32 Alignment
)

 Realloc HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual void Trim ( bool bTrimThreadCaches
)

 Releases as much memory as possible. Must be called from the main thread. HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

virtual bool ValidateHeap()

 Validates the allocator's heap HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h  

Overridden from FExec

Name Remarks Include Path Unreal Specifiers

virtual bool Exec ( UWorld* InWorld,
const TCHAR* Cmd,
FOutputDevice& Ar
)

 Handles any commands passed in on the command line HAL/MallocThreadSafeProxy.h
