## Public Member Functions

FORCEINLINE | operator T * ()
| Gets a pointer to the data stored in this wrapper.
FORCEINLINE T * | operator-> ()
| Gets a pointer to the data stored in this wrapper.
FORCEINLINE T * | EndOf ()

## Data Fields

T | data [length]
| Storing the data on the stack.

## Detailed Description

### template<typename T, size_t length>
struct SmallStackSafeStackAlloc< T, length >

A small 'wrapper' for allocations that can be done on most OSes on the stack, but are just too large to fit in the stack on devices with a small stack such as the NDS.

So when it is possible a stack allocation is made, otherwise a heap allocation is made and this is freed once the struct goes out of scope.

Parameters:

  | T | the type to make the allocation for
  | length | the amount of items to allocate

## Member Function Documentation

template<typename T, size_t length>

FORCEINLINE SmallStackSafeStackAlloc< T, length >::operator T * | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Gets a pointer to the data stored in this wrapper.

Returns:
  the pointer.

template<typename T, size_t length>

FORCEINLINE T* SmallStackSafeStackAlloc< T, length >::operator-> | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Gets a pointer to the data stored in this wrapper.

Returns:
  the pointer.

template<typename T, size_t length>

FORCEINLINE T* SmallStackSafeStackAlloc< T, length >::EndOf | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Gets a pointer to the last data element stored in this wrapper.

Note:
  needed because endof does not work properly for pointers.

Returns:
  the 'endof' pointer.
