Using boost pool library!

[mavrik]

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??
-Thanks

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

Thanks weaknessforcats....
I am seriously looking for something like that(CreateProcessHeap) on Linux/Solaris...
If I am able to create a memory pool Heap for my process, by which all memory needed by process will be taken from that Heap, then my job is actuallty done..
Do u have any idea??
I m also searching on google. :)
-Thanks
