Patent Title: Object oriented storage pool apparatus and method Abstract: An object oriented storage pool provides enhanced performance by allowing very fast and efficient allocation of storage elements from the storage pool instead of obtaining a storage element from the heap in an object oriented computer system. The storage pool is preferably in a linked-list format, and operations on the linked list to allocate and return storage elements are atomic operations to assure serialization of accesses to the storage pool. The presence and operation of the storage pool is hidden from the user by overloading the New() and delete() methods that are defined in the programming language. In this manner the storage pool can be introduced without modification to existing application software, thereby enhancing computer system performance without changing other software in the system.
