     20  * Helper class for creating pools of objects. Creating new objects is an
     21  * expensive operation, which can lead to significant performance overhead if
     22  * new objects of the same type are allocated and destroyed during run time.
     23  * These performance issues can be mitigated by reusing unused objects and
     24  * reinitializing them, rather than destroying and removing them from memory.
     25  * <p>
     26  * The object pool pattern provided by the {@link Pool} interface facilitates
     27  * the reuse of objects by keeping unused ('released') objects in memory and
     28  * making them available for use. This can provide a significant performance
     29  * improvement, as objects are only created once and returned to the Pool when
     30  * no longer required, rather than destroyed and reallocated. Object
     31  * {@link Pools} keep track of these unused objects. An object pool provides two
     32  * basic methods for access:
     33  * <ul>
     34  * <li><b>{@link Pool#acquire()}:</b> Returns an used object if one is
     35  * available.</li>
     36  * <li><b> {@link Pool#release(Object)}:</b> Adds the given object to the pool,
     37  * ready to be reallocated in acquire().</li>
     38  * </ul>
     39  * <p>
     40  * This class contains the interface defining a {@link Pool}, an implementation
     41  * based on a fixed length array ({@link SimplePool}) and a synchronized pool
     42  * for use with concurrency ({@link SynchronizedPool}).
     43  * <p>
     44  * A {@link SimplePool} can be used like this:
     45  *
     46  * <pre>
     47  * public class MyPooledClass {
     48  *
     49  *     private static final SynchronizedPool<MyPooledClass> sPool =
     50  *             new SynchronizedPool<MyPooledClass>(10);
     51  *
     52  *     public static MyPooledClass obtain() {
     53  *         MyPooledClass instance = sPool.acquire();
     54  *         return (instance != null) ? instance : new MyPooledClass();
     55  *     }
     56  *
     57  *     public void recycle() {
     58  *          // Clear state if needed.
     59  *          sPool.release(this);
     60  *     }
     61  *
     62  *     . . .
     63  * }
