An AutoReleasePool implements simple garbage collection for reference-counted objects. It temporarily takes ownership of reference-counted objects that nobody else wants to take ownership of and releases them at a later, appropriate point in time.

Note: The correct way to add an object hold by an AutoPtr<> to an AutoReleasePool is by invoking the AutoPtr's duplicate() method. Example:

AutoReleasePool<C> arp;
AutoPtr<C> ptr = new C;
...
arp.add(ptr.duplicate());

Creates the AutoReleasePool.

Destroys the AutoReleasePool and releases all objects it currently holds.

Adds the given object to the AutoReleasePool. The object's reference count is not modified

Releases all objects the AutoReleasePool currently holds by calling each object's release() method.
