BDE 3.13.0 Highlights

New Class: bdlb::IndexSpan and Utilities

The new value-semantic class bdlb::IndexSpan can be used to represent sub-sequences of sequential containers (e.g., bsl::string) in terms of (starting) position and length of the sub-sequence. Associated utilities are provided by the bdlb_indexspanutil and bdlb_indexspanstringutil components. This class is useful in contexts where pointers representing a sub-sequence might be invalidated by move operations.

bdlma::ConcurrentPoolAllocator: Added Methods

The bdlma::ConcurrentPoolAllocator class now has methods to reserveCapacity for a specified number of objects of the blockSize set at construction. The other new method, release, deallocates all allocated memory in the pool.
