Memory management base class for vectors. This is an abstract base class used, among other places, by all iterative methods to allocate space for auxiliary vectors.
The purpose of this class is as follows: in iterative solvers and other places, one needs to allocate temporary storage for vectors, for example for auxiliary vectors. One could allocate and release them anew every time, but this may be expensive in some situations if it has to happen very frequently. A common case for this is when an iterative method is used to invert a matrix in each iteration of an outer solver, such as when inverting a matrix block for a Schur complement solver. (step-20 does this, for example, but instead just keeps a vector around permanently for temporary storage.)
In such situations, allocating and deallocating vectors anew in each call to the inner solver is expensive and leads to memory fragmentation. The present class allows to avoid this by offering an interface that other classes can use to allocate and deallocate vectors. Different derived classes then implement different strategies to provide temporary storage vectors to using classes.
For example, the PrimitiveVectorMemory class simply allocates and deallocates vectors via the operating system facilities (i.e., using new and delete) each time it is asked for a vector. It is an appropriate implementation to use for iterative solvers that are called only once, or very infrequently.
On the other hand, the GrowingVectorMemory class never returns memory space to the operating system memory management subsystem during its lifetime; it only marks them as unused and allows them to be reused next time a vector is requested.
Classes derived from this base class return pointers to new vectors via the VectorMemory::alloc() function, and re-claim the vector when it is returned via VectorMemory::free(). These two functions therefore play a similar role as new and delete. This includes the usual drawbacks: It is simple to forget to call VectorMemory::free() at the end of a function that uses this facility, or to forget it in an if branch of the function where one has an early return from the function. In both cases, this results in a memory leak: a correct piece of code has to call VectorMemory::free() for all allocated vectors at all possible exit points. This includes places where a function is left because an exception is thrown further down in the call stack and not explicitly handled here.
In other words, vectors allocated via VectorMemory::alloc() have the same issue as raw pointers allocated via new: It is easy to write code that has memory leaks. In the case of raw pointers, the common solution is to use the std::unique_ptr class instead (see http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/unique_ptr). In the case of the current class, the VectorMemory::Pointer class is the solution: it is a class that for all practical purposes looks like a pointer, but upon destruction also returns the vector back to the VectorMemory object from which it got it. Since destruction of the VectorMemory::Pointer class happens whenever it goes out of scope (whether because the function explicitly returns, or because control flow leaves it due to an exception), a memory leak cannot happen: the vector the VectroMemory::Pointer object points to is always returned.

Virtual destructor. This destructor is declared virtual to allow destroying objects of derived type through pointers to this base class.
|
pure virtual |
Return a pointer to a new vector. The number of elements or their subdivision into blocks (if applicable) is unspecified and users of this function should reset vectors to their proper size. The same holds for the contents of vectors: they are unspecified. In other words, the place that calls this function will need to resize or reinitialize it appropriately.
new and delete explicitly in code invites bugs where memory is leaked (either because the corresponding delete is forgotten altogether, or because of exception safety issues), using the alloc() and free() functions explicitly invites writing code that accidentally leaks memory. You should consider using the VectorMemory::Pointer class instead, which provides the same kind of service that std::unique provides for arbitrary memory allocated on the heap. Implemented in PrimitiveVectorMemory< VectorType >, GrowingVectorMemory< VectorType >, GrowingVectorMemory< BlockVector< number > >, GrowingVectorMemory< Vector< double > >, and GrowingVectorMemory< VectorType >.

Subscribes a user of the object by storing the pointer validity. The subscriber may be identified by text supplied as identifier.

Unsubscribes a user from the object.
identifier and the validity pointer must be the same as the one supplied to subscribe(). Definition at line 151 of file enable_observer_pointer.cc.

Return the present number of subscriptions to this object. This allows to use this class for reference counted lifetime determination where the last one to unsubscribe also deletes the object.

List the subscribers to the input stream.

inlineinherited |
Read or write the data of this object to or from a stream for the purpose of serialization using the BOOST serialization library.
This function does not actually serialize any of the member variables of this class. The reason is that what this class stores is only who subscribes to this object, but who does so at the time of storing the contents of this object does not necessarily have anything to do with who subscribes to the object when it is restored. Consequently, we do not want to overwrite the subscribers at the time of restoring, and then there is no reason to write the subscribers out in the first place.
Definition at line 331 of file enable_observer_pointer.h.

privatenoexceptinherited |
Check that there are no objects subscribing to this object. If this check passes then it is safe to destroy the current object. It this check fails then this function will either abort or print an error message to deallog (by using the AssertNothrow mechanism), but will not throw an exception.
Definition at line 53 of file enable_observer_pointer.cc.

mutableprivateinherited |
Store the number of objects which subscribed to this object. Initially, this number is zero, and upon destruction it shall be zero again (i.e. all objects which subscribed should have unsubscribed again).
The creator (and owner) of an object is counted in the map below if HE manages to supply identification.
We use the mutable keyword in order to allow subscription to constant objects also.
This counter may be read from and written to concurrently in multithreaded code: hence we use the std::atomic class template.

In this map, we count subscriptions for each different identification string supplied to subscribe().

In this vector, we store pointers to the validity bool in the ObserverPointer objects that subscribe to this class.

Pointer to the typeinfo object of this object, from which we can later deduce the class name. Since this information on the derived class is neither available in the destructor, nor in the constructor, we obtain it in between and store it here.

A mutex used to ensure data consistency when accessing the mutable members of this class. This lock is used in the subscribe() and unsubscribe() functions, as well as in list_subscribers().
