To standardize Boost.Pool

Show all headers | View raw

Boost.Pool provides an is_from() member function that does a simple range
checks of the heap memory pages and returns whether a pointer is part of the
pool or not.  This is a very useful function which I think should be part of
the standards because it could be used for the global pool as well; i.e. the
one used by operator ::new and ::delete.  The benefits for memory management
of knowing whether an object resides on the heap or stack outweigh the costs
of having to pollute the global namespace.


Thanks,
-Phil
