Detailed Description

template<class Type>
class StaticDeletedChain< Type >

This template class is used to conveniently declare a single instance of the DeletedChain template object, above, for a particular type.

It relies on the fact that the compiler and linker should unify all references to this static pointer for a given type, as per the C++ spec. However, this sometimes fails; and if the compiler fails to do this, it mostly won't be a big deal; it just means there will be multiple unrelated chains of deleted objects for a particular type. This is only a problem if the code structure causes objects to be allocated from one chain and freed to another, which can lead to leaks.
