BloombergLP::bsls::ObjectBuffer

Declared in <bsls_objectbuffer.h>

An instance of this union is a raw block of memory suitable for storing an object of type TYPE. Specifically, the size and alignment of this union exactly matches that of TYPE. A TYPE object can be constructed into an ObjectBuffer using the placement new operator and can be destroyed by explicitly calling its destructor, ~TYPE(). It is the user's responsibility to perform this construction and destruction; an ObjectBuffer object does not manage the construction or destruction of any other objects.

Note that a collaboration is implied between ObjectBuffer and the user. An ObjectBuffer provides aligned memory and the user handles construction and destruction of the object contained within that memory.
