<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>object_pool - Boost Object Pool Allocator</H1>

<P>
<H2>Introduction</H2>

<P>
object_pool.hpp provides a template type that can be used for fast and efficient memory allocation.  It also provides automatic destruction of non-deallocated objects.  For information on other pool-based interfaces, see <A HREF="../interfaces.html">the other pool interfaces</A>.

<P>
<H2>Synopsis</H2>

<PRE CLASS="code">template &lt;typename ElementType, typename UserAllocator = default_user_allocator_new_delete&gt;
class object_pool
{
  private:
    object_pool(const object_pool &amp;);
    void operator=(const object_pool &amp;);

  public:
    typedef ElementType element_type;
    typedef UserAllocator user_allocator;
    typedef typename pool&lt;UserAllocator&gt;::size_type size_type;
    typedef typename pool&lt;UserAllocator&gt;::difference_type difference_type;

    object_pool();
    ~object_pool();

    element_type * malloc();
    void free(element_type * p);
    bool is_from(element_type * p) const;

    element_type * construct();
    // other construct() functions
    void destroy(element_type * p);
};</PRE>

<P>
<H2>Template Parameters</H2>

<P>
<H3>ElementType</H3>

<P>
The template parameter is the type of object to allocate/deallocate.  It must have a non-throwing destructor.

<P>
<H3>UserAllocator</H3>

<P>
Defines the method that the underlying Pool will use to allocate memory from the system.  See <A HREF="user_allocator.html">User Allocators</A> for details.

<P>
<H2>Semantics</H2>
