Hello,


Delphi and FreePascal MemPool for for real-time systems was updated
version 1.01

Description:

Real-Time Memory Management

In Delphi and FreePascal, memory management is normally performed using
getmem,allocmem, freemem, reallocmem, etc. The run-time system's heap
offers great flexibility and efficiency, but it cannot fulfil real-time
requirements. The run-time requirements are non-deterministic. In
addition, they may require blocking task switches, which makes them
unusable for interrupt handlers.

MemPool using generics offers memory management with real-time
capabilities through Memory Pools. A Memory Pool is an isolated heap
with data buffers as objects of equal size. Any number of memory pools
can exist simultaneously. A pool is initialized once and allocated a
certain number of buffers as objects. Thereafter, buffers as objects can
be allocated and deallocated from the pool under real-time conditions.

How to use it?

The parameters of the constructor are:

The first parameter is the number of items and the second parameter is a
boolean parameter that will tell
MemPool to grow or not, if it is set to true it will grow,
set it to false for real-time systems, if you don't pass any parameter,
the number of items will be set to 200 and the MemPool will not grow and
thus it will be set for real-time systems.

The New() method returns a reference to the object.

The Return() method returns the reference to the object to the stack.

Please look at the test.pas example to learn how to use MemPool.

You can use it with Delphi 2 and up on the following RTOS:

Win32 API Compatible RTOS for 32/64-bit x86 Embedded Systems
On Time's royalty-free hard real-time embedded operating system for
32/64-bit x86 CPUs implements a Windows subset kernel in only 16k of
memory. It provides about 400 Win32 API functions and can load Windows DLLs.
