bbai-kernel

bbai-kernel is a modern C++ library with components for reflection and building allocator aware types.

It is a small piece of the project bbai that provides algorithms for deterministic objective Bayesian analysis.

};

                                               buffer.size()};

  bbai::memmg::managed_ptr<A> ptr1{&resource};
    // we configure ptr1 to allocate into buffer

  std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator<> alloc;
  bbai::memmg::managed_ptr<A> ptr2 = 
            bbai::memmg::allocate_managed<B>(alloc, 123);
    // ptr2 manages memory from the heap

  ptr1 = std::move(ptr2); 
    // because the two pointers have unequal allocators, the assignment will
    // reallocate memory and move construct an instance of B into buffer

  std::cout << (reinterpret_cast<char*>(ptr1.get()) == buffer.data()) << "\n"; 
    // prints 1
  std::cout << ptr1->f() << std::endl; // prints 123

  return 0;
