... although you might find ardour/libs/pbd/pool.cc to be more
generically useful, since it includes provision for:
- allocation and release without locks (i.e. the same
thread is assumed to do both)
- allocation and/or release with locking (i.e. multiple
threads using the pool)
- named pools
its about 100 lines of code, if that, though it builds on the
ringbuffer class.
