- // Non MFC based generic cache class, January 1995
-
- /* This class implements a simple cache. A cache object is instantiated
- with the number of items it is to hold. An item is a pointer to an
- object derived from CBaseObject (helps reduce memory leaks). The cache
- can then have objects added to it and removed from it. The cache size
- is fixed at construction time and may therefore run out or be flooded.
- If it runs out it returns a NULL pointer, if it fills up it also returns
- a NULL pointer instead of a pointer to the object just inserted */
-
- /* Making these classes inherit from CBaseObject does nothing for their
- functionality but it allows us to check there are no memory leaks */
-
- /* WARNING Be very careful when using this class, what it lets you do is
- store and retrieve objects so that you can minimise object creation
- which in turns improves efficiency. However the object you store is
- exactly the same as the object you get back which means that it short
- circuits the constructor initialisation phase. This means any class
- variables the object has (eg pointers) are highly likely to be invalid.
- Therefore ensure you reinitialise the object before using it again */

- m_iUsed defines the number of places filled with objects at any time.
- We fill the array of pointers from the start (ie m_ppObjects[0] first)
