## Detailed Description

Configurable memory manager.

This interface allows outside applications to plug in their own memory manager to be used by Xerces for memory allocation/deallocation.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual MemoryManager::~MemoryManager | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Default destructor.

MemoryManager::MemoryManager | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

Protected default constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual MemoryManager* MemoryManager::getExceptionMemoryManager | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

This method is called to obtain the memory manager that should be used to allocate memory used in exceptions.

If the same memory manager can be used, simply return 'this' from this function. Note, however, that if there is a possibility that an exception thrown can outlive the memory manager (for example, because the memory manager object is allocated on the stack or is managed by a stack-bound object), it is recommended that you return XMLPlatformUtils::fgMemoryManager.

Returns:
  A pointer to the memory manager

virtual void* MemoryManager::allocate | ( | XMLSize_t | size | ) | `[pure virtual]`

This method allocates requested memory.

Parameters:

  | size | The requested memory size

Returns:
  A pointer to the allocated memory

virtual void MemoryManager::deallocate | ( | void * | p | ) | `[pure virtual]`

This method deallocates memory.

Parameters:

  | p | The pointer to the allocated memory to be deleted
