| 25 | Flyweights are small-sized handle classes granting constant access to shared | |
| 26 | common data, thus allowing for the management of large amounts of entities | |
| 27 | within reasonable memory limits. Boost.Flyweight makes it easy to use this | |
| 28 | common programming idiom by providing the class template | |
| 29 | <code>flyweight<T></code>, which acts as a drop-in replacement for | |
| 30 | <code>const T</code>. | |
| 31 | </p> | |

| 34 | Learning to use Boost.Flyweight can be accomplished in a matter of minutes. | |
| 35 | When special needs arise, however, an extensive customization interface | |
| 36 | is provided which allows the user to control and extend the following aspects: | |
| 37 | <ul> | |
| 38 | <li>Type tagging for separation of domains using the same basic | |
| 39 | flyweight types.</li> | |
| 40 | <li>Specification and parameterization of the so-called flyweight | |
| 41 | factory.</li> | |
| 42 | <li>Control of the factory instantiation procedure.</li> | |
| 43 | <li>Specification of the internal synchronization mechanisms.</li> | |
| 44 | <li>Flyweight tracking, allowing for the disposal of stored | |
| 45 | values when no longer referenced by any flyweight object.</li> | |
| 46 | </ul> | |
| 47 | </p> | |
