{{alias}}( [dtype] )
Returns an uninitialized typed array from a typed array memory pool.
Memory is **uninitialized**, which means that the contents of a returned
typed array may contain sensitive contents.
The function supports the following data types:
- float64: double-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)
- float32: single-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)
- int32: 32-bit two's complement signed integers
- uint32: 32-bit unsigned integers
- int16: 16-bit two's complement signed integers
- uint16: 16-bit unsigned integers
- int8: 8-bit two's complement signed integers
- uint8: 8-bit unsigned integers
- uint8c: 8-bit unsigned integers clamped to 0-255
The default typed array data type is `float64`.
Parameters
----------
dtype: string (optional)
Data type. Default: 'float64'.
Returns
-------
out: TypedArray|null
If the function is unable to allocate a typed array from the typed array
pool (e.g., due to insufficient memory), the function returns `null`.
Examples
--------
> var arr = {{alias}}()
<Float64Array>[]
> arr = {{alias}}( 'float32' )
<Float32Array>[]
{{alias}}( length[, dtype] )

Data type. Default: 'float64'.
Returns
-------
out: TypedArray|null
If the function is unable to allocate a typed array from the typed array
pool (e.g., due to insufficient memory), the function returns `null`.
Examples
--------
> var arr = {{alias}}( 5 )
<Float64Array>
> arr = {{alias}}( 5, 'int32' )
<Int32Array>

<Int32Array>
{{alias}}.malloc( typedarray[, dtype] )
Creates a pooled typed array from another typed array.
Parameters

-------
out: TypedArray|null

typed array memory pool.
Parameters
----------
length: integer
Typed array length.
dtype: string (optional)
Data type. Default: 'float64'.

-------
out: TypedArray|null

{{alias}}.free( buf )
Frees a typed array or typed array buffer for use in a future allocation.
Parameters
----------
buf: TypedArray|ArrayBuffer
Typed array or typed array buffer to free.
Examples
--------
> var arr = {{alias}}( 5 )
<Float64Array>
> {{alias}}.free( arr )
{{alias}}.clear()
Clears the typed array pool allowing garbage collection of previously
allocated (and currently free) array buffers.
Examples
--------
> var arr = {{alias}}( 5 )
<Float64Array>
> {{alias}}.free( arr );
> {{alias}}.clear()
{{alias}}.highWaterMark
Read-only property returning the pool's high water mark.
Once a high water mark is reached, typed array allocation fails.
Examples
--------
> {{alias}}.highWaterMark
{{alias}}.nbytes
Read-only property returning the total number of allocated bytes.
The returned value is the total accumulated value. Hence, anytime a pool
must allocate a new array buffer (i.e., more memory), the pool increments
this value.
The only time this value is decremented is when a pool is cleared.
This behavior means that, while allocated buffers which are never freed may,
in fact, be garbage collected, they continue to count against the high water
mark limit.
Accordingly, you should *always* free allocated buffers in order to prevent
the pool from believing that non-freed buffers are continually in use.
Examples
--------
> var arr = {{alias}}( 5 )
<Float64Array>
> {{alias}}.nbytes
{{alias}}.factory( [options] )
Creates a typed array pool.
Parameters
----------
options: Object (optional)
Function options.
options.highWaterMark: integer (optional)
Maximum total memory (in bytes) which can be allocated.
Returns
-------
fcn: Function
Function for creating typed arrays from a typed array memory pool.
Examples
--------
> var pool = {{alias}}.factory();
> var arr1 = pool( 3, 'float64' )
<Float64Array>
