Efficient Memory Model

Todo

managing memory within this library is a quite advanced topic. I don’t think the profound documentation will be needed at these days, so I postponed writing of this page. Instead I will collect here some valuable reference materials to help me to explain the approach in the future:

• Improving Performance with Custom ObjPool Allocators for STL: https://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/improving-performance-with-custom-pool-a/184406243 comprehensively explains the rationale

• Towards a Better Allocator Model: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1850.pdf proposes a solution within the standard

• Boost’s update on C++11/C++14/C++17 Conformance: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_68_0/doc/html/container/cpp_conformance.html#container.cpp_conformance.alloc_traits_move_traits demonstrates the concept of stateful allocators.

Albeit the technical details of the implementation seems quite complicated, it is still possible (hopefully) to embed the pool stateful allocators seamlessly in the code, by means of modern C++ or whatever…
