Is anyone in the audience using apr pools in a C++ application? Can you point to any sample code showing how to override 'new' and 'delete' (or manually invoke constructors and destructors) to manage objects within a pool?
Right now I have an ugly mix of pools for apr objects and heap for C++ objects, and I'd prefer to use apr pools exclusively. I'm thinking pools might complement structured exception handling very well: create a sub-pool before each 'try' block, and destroy it in the 'catch' block if an exception is thrown. In theory, this would ensure that whatever data allocated up to the point the exception was thrown would be safely cleaned up. Alternatively, do you have any suggestions on how best to use pools with C++? Currently I'm just creating a pool for each object in its constructor, and destroying it in the destructor. Am I on the right track? -david
