### Class pooled_fixedsize_stack

Boost.Context provides the class pooled_fixedsize_stack which models the stack-allocator concept. In contrast to protected_fixedsize_stack it does not append a guard page at the end of each stack. The memory is managed internally by `boost::pool<>`.

    #include <boost/context/pooled_fixedsize_stack.hpp>

    template< typename traitsT >
    struct basic_pooled_fixedsize_stack {
        typedef traitT  traits_type;

        basic_pooled_fixedsize_stack(std::size_t stack_size = traits_type::default_size(), std::size_t next_size = 32, std::size_t max_size = 0);

        stack_context allocate();

        void deallocate( stack_context &);
    }

    typedef basic_pooled_fixedsize_stack< stack_traits > pooled_fixedsize_stack;

##### `basic_pooled_fixedsize_stack(std::size_t stack_size, std::size_t next_size, std::size_t max_size)`

Preconditions:

  `! traits_type::is_unbounded() && ( traits_type::maximum:size() >= stack_size)` and `0 < nest_size`.

Effects:

  Allocates memory of at least `stack_size` Bytes and stores a pointer to the stack and its actual size in `sctx`. Depending on the architecture (the stack grows downwards/upwards) the stored address is the highest/lowest address of the stack. Argument `next_size` determines the number of stacks to request from the system the first time that `*this` needs to allocate system memory. The third argument `max_size` controls how many memory might be allocated for stacks - a value of zero means no uper limit.

##### `stack_context allocate()`

Preconditions:

  `! traits_type::is_unbounded() && ( traits_type::maximum:size() >= stack_size)`.

Effects:

  Allocates memory of at least `stack_size` Bytes and stores a pointer to the stack and its actual size in `sctx`. Depending on the architecture (the stack grows downwards/upwards) the stored address is the highest/lowest address of the stack.

##### `void deallocate( stack_context & sctx)`

Preconditions:

  `sctx.sp` is valid, `! traits_type::is_unbounded() && ( traits_type::maximum:size() >= sctx.size)`.

Effects:

  Deallocates the stack space.
