Detailed Description

template<typename VectorType = ::Vector<double>>
class GrowingVectorMemory< VectorType >

A pool based memory management class. See the documentation of the base class for a description of its purpose.

Each time a vector is requested from this class, it checks if it has one available and returns its address, or allocates a new one on the heap. If a vector is returned from its user, through the GrowingVectorMemory::free() member function, it doesn't return the allocated memory to the operating system memory subsystem, but keeps it around unused for later use if GrowingVectorMemory::alloc() is called again. The class therefore avoid the overhead of repeatedly allocating memory on the heap if temporary vectors are required and released frequently; on the other hand, it doesn't release once-allocated memory at the earliest possible time and may therefore lead to an increased overall memory consumption.

All GrowingVectorMemory objects of the same vector type use the same memory pool. (In other words: The pool of vectors from which this class draws is global, rather than a regular member variable of the current class that is destroyed at the time that the surrounding GrowingVectorMemory object is destroyed.) Therefore, functions can create such a GrowingVectorMemory object whenever needed without the performance penalty of creating a new memory pool every time. A drawback of this policy is that vectors once allocated are only released at the end of the program run.
