Add allocationsAllowed(bool)

Reported by: keinfarbton Assigned to: kris
Priority: normal Milestone: 2.0
Component: Core Functionality Version: 0.99 RC3 Xammy
Keywords: triage Cc:

Description

In situations where it is not possible to allow GC runs, it would be cool to have this.

Therefore the GC needs to have one more methods:

  • allocationsAllowed( bool enable );

if the application calls allocationsAllowed( false ), any allocation, even from the tango internals will cause an exception to happen. In this case, it should be a subclass of TracedException??.

This allows applications to detect there memory leaks quickly.

I think it would be also really cool to have this flag on a per thread basis. In my current application i had massive memory problems, which were really hard to figure out where the memory is consumed. If I could allow memory allocation only in the certain thread and just before an allocation happens and disallow it immediately after, i had found the problematic places very fast.

does the compiler support a version(debug) or version (release) ?

Yeah, it's:

debug
{
    // I'm in debug mode!
}
else
{
    // I'm in release mode!
}
