theAllocator

Gets/sets the allocator for the current thread. This is the default allocator that should be used for allocating thread-local memory. For allocating memory to be shared across threads, use processAllocator (below). By default, theAllocator ultimately fetches memory from processAllocator, which in turn uses the garbage collected heap.

Examples

// Install a new allocator that is faster for 128-byte allocations.
import std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.free_list : FreeList;
import std.experimental.allocator.gc_allocator : GCAllocator;
auto oldAllocator = theAllocator;
scope(exit) theAllocator = oldAllocator;
theAllocator = allocatorObject(FreeList!(GCAllocator, 128)());
// Use the now changed allocator to allocate an array
const ubyte[] arr = theAllocator.makeArray!ubyte(128);
assert(arr.ptr);
//...
