 *
 * This template class adapts an object of any type to be an
 * ACE_Cleanup object.  The object can then be destroyed
 * type-safely by the ACE_Object_Manager.  This class is
 * typically used to replace a cast; but, it's a bit cleaner and
 * allows insertion of, say, run-time type identification
 * internally if desired.

/**
 * @class ACE_Managed_Object
 *
 * @brief Wrapper for interface to allocate an object managed by the
 * ACE_Object_Manager.
 *
 * This template class wraps an interface that is used to
 * allocate and access an object that is managed by the
 * ACE_Object_Manager.  Because static template member functions
 * are not supported by some compilers, it is a separate
 * (template) class.
 * This interface is typically used to replace a static object
 * with one that is dynamically allocated.  It helps to avoid
 * problems with order of static object
 * construction/destruction.  Managed objects won't be allocated
 * until needed, but should be allocated when first needed.  And
 * they are destroyed in the reverse order of construction.
 * <get_preallocated_object> accesses a "preallocated" object,
 * i.e., one that is identified by a value in the
 * ACE_Object_Manager:: Preallocated_Object enum.  These objects
 * are used internally by the ACE library.
 * Hooks are provided for the application to preallocate objects
 * via the same mechanism.
 * ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_OBJECT_DECLARATIONS can be used
 * to define enum values;
 * ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_OBJECT_DEFINITIONS can be used
 * to define the corresponding objects.  The format of the ACE
 * internal library definitions should be followed.  And
 * similarly, ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_ARRAY_DECLARATIONS
 * and ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_ARRAY_DEFINITIONS can be
 * used to preallocate arrays.
 * By default, preallocation uses dynamic allocation.  The
 * preallocated objects and arrays are allocated off the heap in
 * the ACE_Object_Manager constructor.  To statically place the
 * preallocated objects in program global data instead of on the
 * heap, #define ACE_HAS_STATIC_PREALLOCATION prior to building
 * the ACE library.
