Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class MemoryPool< T >

Template for memory pools.

This template is used to create memory pools that can be used to achieve fast memory allocation. It is not multi-thread safe, but can be duplicated per-thread iif objects are always released on the same core they were allocated.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MemoryPool() [1/2]

template<typename T >

MemoryPool< T >::MemoryPool ( )

inline

Construct an empty MemoryPool.

MemoryPool() [2/2]

template<typename T >

MemoryPool< T >::MemoryPool ( unsigned int  initialSize )

inline

Construct a MemoryPool.

Parameters

initialSize

The initial number of elements in the pool

~MemoryPool()

template<typename T >

MemoryPool< T >::~MemoryPool ( )

inline

Destruct the memory pool.
