// In most of the examples so far, the inputs are known at compile
|
|
// time, thus the amount of memory used by the program is fixed.
|
|
// However, if responding to input whose size is not known at compile
|
|
// time, such as:
|
|
// - user input via command-line arguments
|
|
// - inputs from another program
|
|
//
|
|
// You'll need to request memory for your program to be allocated by
|
|
// your operating system at runtime.
|
|
//
|
|
// Zig provides several different allocators. In the Zig
|
|
// documentation, it recommends the Arena allocator for simple
|
|
// programs which allocate once and then exit:
|
|
//
|
|
// const std = @import("std");
|
|
//
|
|
// // memory allocation can fail, so the return type is !void
|
|
// pub fn main() !void {
|
|
//
|
|
// var arena = std.heap.ArenaAllocator.init(std.heap.page_allocator);
|
|
// defer arena.deinit();
|
|
//
|
|
// const allocator = arena.allocator();
|
|
//
|
|
// const ptr = try allocator.create(i32);
|
|
// std.debug.print("ptr={*}\n", .{ptr});
|
|
//
|
|
// const slice_ptr = try allocator.alloc(f64, 5);
|
|
// std.debug.print("slice_ptr={*}\n", .{slice_ptr});
|
|
// }
|
|
|
|
// Instead of an simple integer or a constant sized slice, this
|
|
// program requires a slice to be allocated that is the same size as
|
|
// an input array.
|
|
|
|
// Given a series of numbers, take the running average. In other
|
|
// words, each item N should contain the average of the last N
|
|
// elements.
