Typedef Documentation

typedef unsigned long MemCore::memsize_t

The type to describe memory in bytes.

It must be large enough to cover the local memory space of an architecture, i.e. of the same size as a pointer. However, the cacheing classes may also be used for non-memory objects but other limited resources, e.g. OpenGL display lists or disc space.
