bufferpool

a pool of byte slice, without the memory fragmentation

Byte slices in this pool are backed by a big array and have fixed sizes so they will not grow as a result of append actions. They are safe for concurrent use because the ranges have not overlaps.

Types

type BufferPool

type BufferPool struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

BufferPool provides a pool of byte slice, made from a single huge byte array.

Example

pool := New(10, 1000)

func() {
	buffer := pool.Take()
	defer pool.Put(buffer)
}()

Example (Concurrent)

// run with go test -race
pool := New(10, 1000)

start := make(chan struct{})
var done sync.WaitGroup
for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
	done.Add(1)
	go func() {
		defer done.Done()
		<-start
		buffer := pool.Take()
		defer pool.Put(buffer)
		for k := range buffer {
			buffer[k] = byte(k & 0xFF)
		}
	}()
}

close(start)
done.Wait()

func New

func New(bufferSize, bufferCount int) *BufferPool

New makes a new *BufferPool

func (*BufferPool) Expand

func (bf *BufferPool) Expand(bufferCount int)

Expand expands the pool bufferCount times, creating a new underlying array.

func (*BufferPool) Len

func (bf *BufferPool) Len() int

Len returns the length of the pool.

func (*BufferPool) Put

func (bf *BufferPool) Put(buffer []byte) bool

Put puts back a []byte into the pool unless the pool if full or the provided buffer has a different length than the initial buffer size.

func (*BufferPool) Take

func (bf *BufferPool) Take() (buffer []byte)

Take returns a byte slice from the pool or nil if the pool is depleted.
