Simply add include/object_pool.hpp to your C++ project either by copying directly or using git submodules.
There are two working implementations of the object pool, (1) the object managed pool that stores objects on the stack using a vector, and (2) the object pointer pool that stores objects dynamically in memory. benchmark/benchmark.cpp contains code to benchmark the objects (using doubles as the template object type).
| Class | Object location | get & put avg. time |
|---|---|---|
ObjectManagedPool |
Stack | 194_ns_ (267_ns_ std.) |
ObjectPointerPool |
Heap | 47_ns_ (2_ns_ std.) |
The ObjectPool class defaults to the faster (and simpler) ObjectPointerPool
class.
