  <h1 align="center">Pool</h1>

  <h2>Introduction</h2>

  <p><span class="code">pool</span> is a fast memory allocator, and
  guarantees proper alignment of all allocated chunks.</p>

  <p>pool.hpp provides two <a href="user_allocator.html">UserAllocator</a>
  classes and a template class <span class="code">pool</span>, which extends
  and generalizes the framework provided by the <a href=
  "simple_segregated_storage.html">simple segregated storage</a> solution.
  For information on other pool-based interfaces, see <a href=
  "../interfaces.html">the other pool interfaces</a>.</p>

  <h2>Synopsis</h2>
  <pre class="code">
struct default_user_allocator_new_delete; // see <a href=
"user_allocator.html">User Allocators</a>
struct default_user_allocator_malloc_free; // see <a href=
"user_allocator.html">User Allocators</a>

template &lt;typename UserAllocator = default_user_allocator_new_delete&gt;
class pool
{
  private:
    pool(const pool &amp;);
    void operator=(const pool &amp;);

  public:
    typedef UserAllocator user_allocator;
    typedef typename UserAllocator::size_type size_type;
    typedef typename UserAllocator::difference_type difference_type;

    explicit pool(size_type requested_size);
    ~pool();

    bool release_memory();
    bool purge_memory();

    bool is_from(void * chunk) const;
    size_type get_requested_size() const;

    void * malloc();
    void * ordered_malloc();
    void * ordered_malloc(size_type n);

    void free(void * chunk);
    void ordered_free(void * chunk);
    void free(void * chunks, size_type n);
    void ordered_free(void * chunks, size_type n);
};
</pre>

  <h2>Template Parameters</h2>

  <h3>UserAllocator</h3>

  <p>Defines the method that the Pool will use to allocate memory from the
  system. See <a href="user_allocator.html">User Allocators</a> for
  details.</p>
