Constructor & Destructor Documentation

lunchbox::MemoryMap::MemoryMap ( )

Construct a new memory map.

Version: 1.0

lunchbox::MemoryMap::MemoryMap ( const std::string & filename )

explicit

Construct and initialize a new, readonly memory map.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if file can't be mapped.

Version: 1.7.1

lunchbox::MemoryMap::MemoryMap	(	const std::string &	filename,
		const size_t	size
	)

Construct and initialize a new, read-write memory map.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if file can't be created.

Version: 1.9.1

lunchbox::MemoryMap::~MemoryMap ( )

Destruct the memory map.

Unmaps the file, if it is still mapped.

See also: unmap()

Version: 1.0

Member Function Documentation

void* lunchbox::MemoryMap::create	(	const std::string &	filename,
		const size_t	size
	)

Create a writable file to a memory address.

The file is mapped read-write. An existing file will be overwritten. The file is automatically unmapped when the memory map is deleted.

Parameters

filename	The filename of the file to map.
size	this size of the file.

Returns: the pointer to the mapped file, or 0 upon error.

Version: 1.9.1

const void* lunchbox::MemoryMap::getAddress ( ) const

Returns: the pointer to the memory map.

Version: 1.0

Referenced by getAddress().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void* lunchbox::MemoryMap::getAddress ( )

Returns: the pointer to the memory map.

Version: 1.9.1

template<class T >

const T* lunchbox::MemoryMap::getAddress ( ) const

inline

Returns: the pointer to the memory map.

Version: 1.9.1

Definition at line 125 of file memoryMap.h.

template<class T >

T* lunchbox::MemoryMap::getAddress ( )

inline

Returns: the pointer to the memory map.

Version: 1.9.1

Definition at line 129 of file memoryMap.h.

References getAddress(), getSize(), and lunchbox::operator<<().

Here is the call graph for this function:

size_t lunchbox::MemoryMap::getSize ( ) const

Returns: the size of the memory map.

Version: 1.0

Referenced by getAddress().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

const void* lunchbox::MemoryMap::map ( const std::string & filename )

Map a file to a memory address.

The file is only mapped read-only. The file is automatically unmapped when the memory map is deleted.

Parameters

filename The filename of the file to map.

Returns: the pointer to the mapped file, or 0 upon error.

Version: 1.0

void* lunchbox::MemoryMap::recreate	(	const std::string &	filename,
		const size_t	size
	)

Recreate a different writable file for this memory map.

The file is only mapped read-write. An existing map is unmapped.

Parameters

filename	The filename of the file to map.
size	this size of the file.

Returns: the pointer to the mapped file, or 0 upon error.

Version: 1.0

const void* lunchbox::MemoryMap::remap ( const std::string & filename )

Remap a different file for this memory map.

The file is only mapped read-only. An existing map is unmapped.

Parameters

filename The filename of the file to map.

Returns: the pointer to the mapped file, or 0 upon error.

Version: 1.9.1

void lunchbox::MemoryMap::unmap ( )

Unmap the file.

Version: 1.0
