Reuse typed arrays
npm install @jpweeks/typedarray-pooltypedarray-pool
===============
A global pool for typed arrays.
``javascript
var pool = require("typedarray-pool")
//Allocate a buffer with at least 128 floats
var f = pool.malloc(128, "float")
// ... do stuff ...
//When done, release buffer
pool.free(f)
`
npm install typedarray-pool
`javascript`
var pool = require("typedarray-pool")
* n is the number of elements in the arraydtype
* is the data type of the array to allocate. Must be one of:
+ "uint8"
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Returns A typed array with at least n elements in it. If dtype is undefined, an ArrayBuffer is returned.
Note You can avoid the dispatch by directly calling one of the following methods:
* pool.mallocUint8
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
* array The array object to return to the pool.
Note You can speed up the method if you know the type of array before hand by calling one of the following:
* pool.freeUint8
*
*
*
