{{< callout type="info">}}
Header: `reference_counted_message_pool.h`
Header: `ireference_counted_message_pool.h`
{{< /callout >}}
Allocates `etl::ireference_counted_message` types that are used by `etl::shared_message`.
Uses a supplied `memory_block allocator` derived from `etl::imemory_block_allocator`.
## ireference_counted_message_pool.h
Defines the following class.
`etl::ireference_counted_message_pool`
## reference_counted_message_pool.h
Defines the following classes.
`etl::reference_counted_message_pool_exception`
`etl::reference_counted_message_pool_allocation_failure`
`etl::reference_counted_message_pool_release_failure`
## ireference_counted_message_pool
```cpp
etl::ireference_counted_message_pool
```
The interface for reference counted message pools.
```cpp
virtual ~ireference_counted_message_pool() {}
```
```cpp
virtual void release(const etl::ipool_message& msg) = 0;
```
Virtual `lock()` and `unlock()` functions are defined. The default action is to do nothing.
A derived class may override these functions to provide a thread or interrupt safe pool.
`virtual void lock()`
`virtual void unlock()`
## reference_counted_message_pool
```cpp
etl::reference_counted_message_pool<TCounter>
```
The concrete reference counted message pool.
```cpp
reference_counted_message_pool(imemory_block_allocator& memory_block_allocator)
```
Constructs the pool and assigns the memory block allocator to it.
---
```cpp
template <typename TMessage>
etl::reference_counted_message<TMessage, TCounter>* allocate()
```
Returns a pointer to a pool message that holds a `TMessage`.
The message is default constructed.
ETL_ASSERT if one cannot be allocated and returns `ETL_NULLPTR`.
---
```cpp
template <typename TMessage>
etl::reference_counted_message<TMessage, TCounter>* allocate(const TMessage& message)
```
Returns a pointer to a pool message that holds a `TMessage`.
ETL_ASSERT if one cannot be allocated and returns `ETL_NULLPTR`.
---
```cpp
void release(const etl::ireference_counted_message& rcmessage)
```
Returns the reference counted to a pool message that holds a `TMessage`.
`ETL_ASSERT` if it cannot be released. Reasons can include the message not belonging to the pool.
## pool_message_parameters
**C++03**
The C++03 version defines the largest size and alignment of up to 8 types at a time.
```cpp
template <typename TMessage1, typename TMessage2 = TMessage1,
typename TMessage3 = TMessage1, typename TMessage4 = TMessage1,
typename TMessage5 = TMessage1, typename TMessage6 = TMessage1,
typename TMessage7 = TMessage1, typename TMessage8 = TMessage1>
struct pool_message_parameters
```
---
```cpp
static const size_t max_size;
```
The maximum size.
---
```cpp
static const size_t max_alignment;
```
The maximum alignment.
**C++11 or above**
The C++11 version defines the largest size and alignment of a set of message types.
```cpp
template <typename TMessage1, typename... TMessages>
struct pool_message_parameters
```
---
```cpp
static constexpr size_t max_size
```
The maximum size.
---
```cpp
static constexpr size_t max_alignment;
```
The maximum alignment.
---
**For C++11, with atomic support.**
```cpp
template <typename TObject>
using atomic_counted_message_pool = etl::reference_counted_message_pool<etl::atomic_int32_t>;
```
Defines an alias to a reference counted message pool that uses an atomic.
