CXAutoreleasePool

alpha version, October 2000

<<<even more unfinished than others>>>

explicit use looks like this:

{ CXAutoreleasePool *pool=[CXAutoreleasePool pool]; ... // any object which got autoreleased // here... ... [pool release]; // ...is truly released here! }

Pools are exception-safe.

You do not need to use pools at all, but then all the autoreleased objects will be released

at the very end of the process for an EXE;
at the end of the current event processing for an application.

The application variant is quite useable, unless processing of some particualr event makes really a big number of autoreleased objects (generally in a loop or so). In these cases, you should to use the pools directly like in the example above to limit the memory needs.

There is a method xlog which logs out all the objects in the pool, and the method xlogrelease, which releases all the objects just like the release method, but logs them as well.
