I started using object_pool recently to solve a problem. I have lots of objects being created and destroyed frequently and stored in a collection. Every so often an event happens which triggers destroying all the objects.

Essentially I have:

boost::object_pool<Object> m_object_pool; std::vector<Object*> m_objects;

Then I have a function

void DestroyAllObjects() { std::vector<Object*>::iterator it, iend = m_objects.end(); for( it = m_objects.begin(); it != iend; ++it ) { m_object_pool.destroy(*it); } m_objects.clear(); }

It seems like there should be a better way of doing this... i.e.

void DestroyAllObjects() { m_object_pool.destroy_all(); m_objects.clear(); }

Also it might be nice to iterate over all the objects in the pool (in which case I wouldn't even need the m_objects vector.

Perhaps there is a better way to solve the problem?

I didn't get an answer on users so I thought I'd ping here. Thanks, Michael Marcin
