Introducing:
*TimerAlloc*
JASS:
library TimerAlloc
private struct TimerAlloc extends array
private static integer MAX_STACK = 500
private static constant integer SUPER_MAX_STACK = 8000
private static thistype current = 0
private static thistype last = 0
private thistype next
private thistype recNext
private timer TimerStack
static method getTimerType takes timer t returns thistype
local thistype this = thistype(0).next
local integer i = 1
loop
exitwhen this.TimerStack == t or i == MAX_STACK
set this = this.next
set i = i + 1
endloop
if this.TimerStack != t then
set this = last + 1
set MAX_STACK = this
set last.next = this
set last = last.next
set last.TimerStack = t
set last.next = 0
endif
return this
endmethod
static method dealloc takes timer t returns nothing
local thistype this = thistype.getTimerType(t)
call PauseTimer(this.TimerStack)
set this.recNext = recNext
set recNext = this
endmethod
static method alloc takes nothing returns timer
local thistype this
if thistype(0).recNext == 0 then
set current = current.next
set this = current
else
set this = thistype(0).recNext
set thistype(0).recNext = thistype(0).recNext.recNext
endif
return this.TimerStack
endmethod
private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
local thistype i = 1
loop
set i.TimerStack = CreateTimer()
call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
set i.next = 0 //next[1] == next[0] = 0, next[2] == 0
set thistype(0).next.next = i //next[next[0]] == next[0] = 1, next[next[0]] == next[1] = 2
set thistype(0).next = i //next[0] = 1
exitwhen i == MAX_STACK
set i = i + 1
endloop
set last = i
set thistype(0).next = 1 //Basically goes back to 1.
endmethod
endstruct
function DeallocateTimer takes timer whichTimer returns nothing
call TimerAlloc.dealloc(whichTimer)
endfunction
function AllocateTimer takes nothing returns timer
return TimerAlloc.alloc()
endfunction
endlibraryA simple snippet of sorts, it allows you to use and recycle already created timers...
[At this point, this would be an unverified claim]
...so that you don't consume nearly as much memory as you do when creating timers and destroying them.
