Detailed Description
replacement for malloc/free and new/delete
- Date:

1.9
This class is a replacement for malloc/free and new/delete for software that has inherent memory leak problems. For example, external software such as the PLY library (vtkPLY) and VRML importer (vtkVRMLImporter) are often written with lots of malloc() calls but without the corresponding free() invocations. This class allows the replacement of malloc() with the method AllocateMemory(). Memory is then deleted with an invocation of CleanUp().
- Warning:
-
Do not use this method as a replacement for system memory allocation. This class should be used only as a last resort if memory leaks cannot be tracked down and eliminated by conventional means.

|
Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

|
Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.
