  //     This template class adapts an object of any type to be an
  //     ACE_Cleanup object.  The object can then be destroyed
  //     type-safely by the ACE_Object_Manager.  This class is
  //     typically used to replace a cast; but, it's a bit cleaner and
  //     allows insertion of, say, run-time type identification
  //     internally if desired.

class ACE_Managed_Object
{
  // = TITLE
  //     Wrapper for interface to allocate an object managed by the
  //     ACE_Object_Manager.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //     This template class wraps an interface that is used to
  //     allocate and access an object that is managed by the
  //     ACE_Object_Manager.  Because static template member functions
  //     are not supported by some compilers, it is a separate
  //     (template) class.
  //
  //     This interface is typically used to replace a static object
  //     with one that is dynamically allocated.  It helps to avoid
  //     problems with order of static object
  //     construction/destruction.  Managed objects won't be allocated
  //     until needed, but should be allocated when first needed.  And
  //     they are destroyed in the reverse order of construction.
  //
  //     <get_preallocated_object> accesses a "preallocated" object,
  //     i.e., one that is identified by a value in the
  //     ACE_Object_Manager:: Preallocated_Object enum.  These objects
  //     are used internally by the ACE library.
  //
  //     Hooks are provided for the application to preallocate objects
  //     via the same mechanism.
  //     ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_OBJECT_DECLARATIONS can be used
  //     to define enum values;
  //     ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_OBJECT_DEFINITIONS can be used
  //     to define the corresponding objects.  The format of the ACE
  //     internal library definitions should be followed.  And
  //     similarly, ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_ARRAY_DECLARATIONS
  //     and ACE_APPLICATION_PREALLOCATED_ARRAY_DEFINITIONS can be
  //     used to preallocate arrays.
  //
  //     By default, preallocation uses dynamic allocation.  The
  //     preallocated objects and arrays are allocated off the heap in
  //     the ACE_Object_Manager constructor.  To statically place the
  //     preallocated objects in program global data instead of on the
  //     heap, #define ACE_HAS_STATIC_PREALLOCATION prior to building
  //     the ACE library.

    // The preallocated objects are in a separate, "read-only" array so
