MaxHeapOperators Class Reference

#include <MaxHeap.h>

Class Description

The base class in Max that controls the memory management for any class that derives from it.

The sole purpose of this class is to provide various overloads of the new and delete operators. By doing this, any class that derives from this class and doesn't implement it's own new and delete operators will see all of its memory operation go through the Max Core. Doing this permits plugins to easily benefit from the same memory allocation optimizations the Max Core has or will receive in the future. It also permits plugins linked with a different CRT than the Max Core to safely pass memory pointers to heap blocks allocated on one side of the plugin dll boundary and deallocated on the other.

If a plugin class has to implement its own new and delete operators but also derive indirectly from MaxHeapOperators, access to the new and delete operators will have to be disambiguated. For an example on how to do this with a "using" declaration, see the class MaxWrapper in maxsdk\include\maxscrpt\maxobj.h.
