* Entry Reusage System
*
* *
* There are several root entry managers, each with a different entry size. *
* Each manager will keep track of how many instances have been 'created'. *
* They will only automatically destroy themselves after the last instance *
* is destroyed. *
* *
* Entries can be allocated from the managers. *
* If it has reusable entries (freed entry), it uses one. *
* So no assumption should be made about the data of the entry. *
* Entries should be freed in the manager they where allocated from. *
* Failure to do so can lead to unexpected behaviours. *
* *
* Advantages:
*
* - The same manager is used for entries of the same size. *
* So entries freed in one instance of the manager can be used by other *
* instances of the manager. *
* - Much less memory allocation/deallocation - program will be faster. *
* - Avoids memory fragmentaion - program will run better for longer. *
* *
* Disavantages:
*
* - Unused entries are almost inevitable - memory being wasted. *
* - A manager will only auto-destroy when all of its instances are *
* destroyed so memory will usually only be recovered near the end. *
* - Always wastes space for entries smaller than a pointer. *
* *
* WARNING: The system is not thread-safe at the moment. *
