A C++ template class implementing a fast, low-overhead memory pool allocator compliant with much of the C++ Standard Library allocator interface. It allocates memory in large chunks and splits it into fixed-size pieces, making it ideal for allocating many same-sized objects.

Use cases

• speed up allocation of many small same-sized objects
• reduce memory overhead versus malloc/new
• implement fast linked lists, trees, or hash tables with custom allocators
• avoid memory fragmentation in high-performance C++ programs
• bulk-free all objects at once without individual deletes

When to choose

• you need to allocate many objects of a known, fixed size
• allocation performance is a bottleneck in your C++ program
• you want a simple, readable allocator to base your own implementation on

When to avoid

• you need variable-size or general-purpose allocation
• objects have non-trivial destructors requiring individual cleanup
• you need an actively maintained library with ongoing support
