**Intent:** When objects are expensive to create and they are needed only for
|
|
|
|
|
short periods of time it is advantageous to utilize the Object Pool pattern.
|
|
|
|
|
The Object Pool provides a cache for instantiated objects tracking which ones
|
|
|
|
|
are in use and which are available.

**Applicability:** Use the Object Pool pattern when
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the objects are expensive to create (allocation cost)

|
|
|
* you need a large number of short-lived objects (memory fragmentation)
|
