Using boost pool library!

12 New Member
Hi all,

I've a requirement of creating a memory pool for all memory needed by my application, when my application starts.
And I should take all memory from that pool without returning to the System.
This pool should get destructed only when application terminates.
So memory usage of my application will remian constant.
For this purpose, I am planning to use Boost Pool Library.
Can anybody help me in using Boost library.
Is Boost right choice for my requirement?
Please give me suggestions....

Thanks for ur reply...
But, do u think that my requirement gets fulfilled by Boosts lib..?
I want that I should be able to define the memory in the beginning of application, which my application will be using.
Which I think is not possible by Boost's pool lib.
What do you say??

Too bad you are not using Windows. You could just call CreateProcessHe ap and you are done.

In our new .NET web applications, we try to limit the use of SqlConnection to just one instance per page, even if there are multiple accesses to various queries. The thinking behind is that this reduces the need to getting and returning connections to the pool repeatedly if a page has multiple calls to the DB, and each one manages its own connection. However, this does requires more deliberate coding, like calling the...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you have some experience with the boost library. I am having trouble compiling code with it.

I am getting error messages when I try to compile as soon as I put an include to the boost library in the...

Hi, I've been trying for days to make either boost.python or swig to work for me. The one I have gotten the closest to is boost. Note that this is for windows XP. I'm not much of an unix person besides doing simple ls and copy paste. What I have done is to download the boost library: C:\boost_1_34_0 I downloaded the bjam library: C:\boost-jam-3.1.14-1-ntx86

Hello, I am looking for a little bit of help. I am trying to create a dynamically allocated object which contains one or more objects of type boost::pool<>. I get a compiler error when an object of this type is contained in my class and am not sure why.
