Data(bytesNoCopy:count:deallocator)

Using Swift
1

Hello,

I create an UsafeMutableRawPointer using the allocate method.

Later on I want to create a Data struct from this pointer using the bytesNoCopy initializer. Which deallocator should I pass?

It looks like this:

let retPointer = UnsafeMutableRawPointer.allocate(bytes: size, alignedTo: MemoryLayout<UInt8>.alignment)
….

let d = Data(bytesNoCopy: retPointer, count: size,deallocator:Deallocator.free)

Thanks,

Stéphane

Hi Stéphane,

This should work:

let retPointer = UnsafeMutableRawPointer.allocate(bytes: size, alignedTo: MemoryLayout<UInt8>.alignment)

let d = Data(bytesNoCopy: retPointer, count: size, deallocator: .custom({ (ptr, size) in
      ptr.deallocate(bytes: size, alignedTo: 1)
    }))

We should probably add a predefined enum for a deallocator that matches UnsafeMutableRawPointer.allocate. Stéphane or Andy, would you mind filing a JIRA or radar for that?
