dealloc

def dealloc[T: AnyType, //](var allocation: Allocation[T], /)

Deallocates the storage owned by an Allocation.

Consumes allocation and releases its memory. This is the primary way to dispose of an Allocation produced by alloc. To deallocate a bare ThinAllocation, wrap it in an Allocation with its original Layout first: dealloc(thin^.unsafe_with_layout(layout)).

Example:

from std.memory.alloc import alloc, dealloc, Layout

var allocation = alloc(Layout[Int64].single())
dealloc(allocation^)

Parameters:

  • ​T (AnyType): The type of the elements in the allocation.

Args:

  • ​allocation (Allocation[T]): The Allocation to deallocate. It is consumed by this call.
