Handbook Note 56/113: Ray Lischner Windows Allocator

Note 56 of 113 of Delphi 2007 Handbook

Note 56: Ray Lischner (http://www.tempest-sw.com/lisch.htm) is the author of several Delphi books and a handful of tools. The Windows based allocator can be found on CodeCentral at http://cc.codegear.com/Item/22668.

This blog post is part of my "113 Delphi 2007 Handbook Notes" blogging project, to promote my new Delphi book.

Handbook Note 56/113 Ray Lischner Windows Allocator  

The CodeCentral article doesn't very much about the
allocator - what advantages does it have, ie, when
would you want to use this allocator as opposed to the
default Delphi / FastMM one?

David,

  I used this memory allocator (along with others) to
replace the original one in Delphi *before* we got
FastMM4. I keep it around only in one specific
programs that makes use of interfaces in far from
correct ways... something FastMM4 doesn't like at all!

  Maybe other users have different needs for it. It
seems to work great when allocating large buffers
rather than small objects, but (as shown in the book)
it is not that bad on average Delphi code, either.
