It differs from the MemoryPool in the way the block /// size is determined - it is inferred form the held type size and /// applied statically. It is also, as its name implies, faster than /// Poco::MemoryPool. It is likely to be significantly faster than /// the runtime platform generic memory allocation functionality /// as well, but it has certain limitations (aside from only giving /// blocks of fixed size) - see more below. /// /// An object using memory from the pool should be created using /// in-place new operator; once released back to the pool, its /// destructor will be called by the pool. The returned pointer /// must be a valid pointer to the type for which it was obtained. /// /// Example use: /// /// using std::vector; /// using std:string; /// using std::to_string; /// using Poco::FastMemoryPool; /// /// int blocks = 10; /// FastMemoryPool fastIntPool(blocks); /// FastMemoryPool fastStringPool(blocks); /// /// vector intVec(blocks, 0); /// vector strVec(blocks); /// /// for (int i = 0; i < blocks; ++i) /// { /// intVec[i] = new (fastIntPool.get()) int(i); /// strVec[i] = new (fastStringPool.get()) string(to_string(i)); /// } /// /// for (int i = 0; i < blocks; ++i) /// { /// fastIntPool.release(intVec[i]); /// fastStringPool.release(strVec[i]); /// } /// /// Pool keeps memory blocks in "buckets". A bucket is an array of /// blocks; it is always allocated with a single `new[]`, and its blocks /// are initialized at creation time. Whenever the current capacity /// of the pool is reached, a new bucket is allocated and its blocks /// initialized for internal use. If the new bucket allocation would /// exceed allowed maximum size, std::bad_alloc() exception is thrown, /// with object itself left intact. /// /// Pool internally keeps track of available blocks through a linked-list /// and utilizes unused memory blocks for that purpose. This means that, /// for types smaller than pointer the size of a block will be greater /// than the size of the type. The implications are following: /// /// - FastMemoryPool can not be used for arrays of types smaller /// than pointer /// /// - if FastMemoryPool is used to store variable-size arrays, it /// must not have multiple buckets; the way to achieve this is by /// specifying proper argument values at construction. /// /// Neither of the above are primarily intended or recommended modes /// of use. It is recommended to use a FastMemoryPool for creation of /// many objects of the same type. Furthermore, it is perfectly fine /// to have arrays or STL containers of pointers to objects created /// in blocks of memory obtained from the FastMemoryPool. /// /// Before a block is given to the user, it is removed from the list; /// when a block is returned to the pool, it is re-inserted in the /// list. Pool will return held memory to the system at destruction, /// and will not leak memory after destruction; this means that after /// pool destruction, any memory that was taken, but not returned to /// it becomes invalid. /// /// FastMemoryPool is thread safe; it uses Poco::FastMutex by /// default, but other mutexes can be specified through the template /// parameter, if needed. Poco::NullMutex can be specified as template /// parameter to avoid locking and improve speed in single-threaded /// scenarios. { private: class Block /// A block of memory.
