Member Function Documentation

◆ AllocatePages()

virtual void* AllocatePages ( void *  address,
size_t  length,
size_t  alignment,
Permission  permissions 
)
pure virtual

Allocates memory in range with the given alignment and permission.

◆ AllocatePageSize()

virtual size_t AllocatePageSize ( )
pure virtual

Gets the page granularity for AllocatePages and FreePages. Addresses and lengths for those calls should be multiples of AllocatePageSize().

◆ AllocateSharedPages()

virtual std::unique_ptr<SharedMemory> AllocateSharedPages ( size_t  length,
const void *  original_address 
)
inlinevirtual

INTERNAL ONLY: This interface has not been stabilised and may change without notice from one release to another without being deprecated first.

Allocates shared memory pages. Not all PageAllocators need support this and so this method need not be overridden. Allocates a new read-only shared memory region of size |length| and copies the memory at |original_address| into it.

Definition at line 468 of file v8-platform.h.

◆ CanAllocateSharedPages()

virtual bool CanAllocateSharedPages ( )
inlinevirtual

INTERNAL ONLY: This interface has not been stabilised and may change without notice from one release to another without being deprecated first.

If not overridden and changed to return true, V8 will not attempt to call AllocateSharedPages or RemapSharedPages. If overridden, AllocateSharedPages and RemapSharedPages must also be overridden.

Definition at line 481 of file v8-platform.h.

◆ CommitPageSize()

virtual size_t CommitPageSize ( )
pure virtual

Gets the page granularity for SetPermissions and ReleasePages. Addresses and lengths for those calls should be multiples of CommitPageSize().

◆ DiscardSystemPages()

virtual bool DiscardSystemPages ( void *  address,
size_t  size 
)
inlinevirtual

Frees memory in the given [address, address + size) range. address and size should be operating system page-aligned. The next write to this memory area brings the memory transparently back.

Definition at line 418 of file v8-platform.h.

◆ FreePages()

virtual bool FreePages ( void *  address,
size_t  length 
)
pure virtual

Frees memory in a range that was allocated by a call to AllocatePages.

◆ GetRandomMmapAddr()

virtual void* GetRandomMmapAddr ( )
pure virtual

Returns a randomized address, suitable for memory allocation under ASLR. The address will be aligned to AllocatePageSize.

◆ ReleasePages()

virtual bool ReleasePages ( void *  address,
size_t  length,
size_t  new_length 
)
pure virtual

Releases memory in a range that was allocated by a call to AllocatePages.

◆ ReserveForSharedMemoryMapping()

virtual bool ReserveForSharedMemoryMapping ( void *  address,
size_t  size 
)
inlinevirtual

INTERNAL ONLY: This interface has not been stabilised and may change without notice from one release to another without being deprecated first.

Reserve pages at a fixed address returning whether the reservation is possible. The reserved memory is detached from the PageAllocator and so should not be freed by it. It's intended for use with SharedMemory::RemapTo, where ~SharedMemoryMapping would free the memory.

Definition at line 455 of file v8-platform.h.

◆ SetPermissions()

virtual bool SetPermissions ( void *  address,
size_t  length,
Permission  permissions 
)
pure virtual

Sets permissions on pages in an allocated range.

◆ SetRandomMmapSeed()

virtual void SetRandomMmapSeed ( int64_t  seed)
pure virtual

Sets the random seed so that GetRandomMmapAddr() will generate repeatable sequences of random mmap addresses.
