A native scope is an abstraction which provides shared temporal bounds for one or more allocations, backed by off-heap memory. Native scopes can be either bounded or unbounded, depending on whether the size of the native scope is known statically. If an application knows before-hand how much memory it needs to allocate, then using a bounded native scope will typically provide better performance than independently allocating the memory for each value (e.g. using MemorySegment.allocateNative(long)), or using an unbounded native scope. For this reason, using a bounded native scope is recommended in cases where programs might need to emulate native stack allocation.

Allocation scopes are thread-confined (see ownerThread(); as such, the resulting MemorySegment instances returned by the native scope will be backed by memory segments confined by the same owner thread as the native scope's owner thread.

To allow for more usability, it is possible for a native scope to reclaim ownership of an existing memory segment (see MemorySegment.handoff(NativeScope)). This might be useful to allow one or more segments which were independently created to share the same life-cycle as a given native scope - which in turns enables a client to group all memory allocation and usage under a single try-with-resources block.

Unless otherwise specified, passing a null argument, or an array argument containing one or more null elements to a method in this class causes a NullPointerException to be thrown.

API Note:In the future, if the Java language permits, NativeScope may become a sealed interface, which would prohibit subclassing except by explicitly permitted types.

Allocate a block of memory in this native scope with given layout. The segment returned by this method is associated with a segment which cannot be closed. Moreover, the returned segment must conform to the layout alignment constraints.
Params:
  • layout – the layout of the block of memory to be allocated.
Throws:
  • OutOfMemoryError – if there is not enough space left in this native scope, that is, if this is a bounded allocation scope, and byteSize().getAsLong() - allocatedBytes() < layout.byteSize().
Returns:a segment for the newly allocated memory block.

Allocate a block of memory corresponding to an array with given element layout and size. The segment returned by this method is associated with a segment which cannot be closed. Moreover, the returned segment must conform to the layout alignment constraints. This is equivalent to the following code:

Params:
  • elementLayout – the array element layout.
  • count – the array element count.
Throws:
  • OutOfMemoryError – if there is not enough space left in this native scope, that is, if this is a bounded allocation scope, and byteSize().getAsLong() - allocatedBytes() < (elementLayout.byteSize() * count).
Returns:a segment for the newly allocated memory block.

Allocate a block of memory in this native scope with given size. The segment returned by this method is associated with a segment which cannot be closed. Moreover, the returned segment must be aligned to size.
Params:

Allocate a block of memory in this native scope with given size and alignment constraint. The segment returned by this method is associated with a segment which cannot be closed. Moreover, the returned segment must be aligned to alignment.
Params:
