+ * @defgroup PJ_POOL_BUFFER Stack/Buffer Based Memory Pool Allocator
+ * @ingroup PJ_POOL_GROUP
+ * @brief Stack/buffer based pool.
+ *
+ * This section describes an implementation of memory pool which uses
+ * memory allocated from the stack. Application creates this pool
+ * by specifying a buffer (which can be allocated from static memory or
+ * stack variable), and then use normal pool API to access/use the pool.
+ *
+ * If the buffer specified during pool creation is a buffer located in the
+ * stack, the pool will be invalidated (or implicitly destroyed) when the
+ * execution leaves the enclosing block containing the buffer. Note
+ * that application must make sure that any objects allocated from this
+ * pool (such as mutexes) have been destroyed before the pool gets
+ * invalidated.
+ *
+ * Sample usage:
+ *
+ * \code
+ #include <pjlib.h>
+
+ static void test()
+ {
+ char buffer[500];
+ pj_pool_t *pool;
+ void *p;
+
+ pool = pj_pool_create_on_buf("thepool", buffer, sizeof(buffer));
+
+ // Use the pool as usual
+ p = pj_pool_alloc(pool, ...);
+ ...
+
+ // No need to release the pool
+ }
+
+ int main()
+ {
+ pj_init();
+ test();
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ \endcode
