are there any good memory pool libraries?

Hi!

I need to write a "sub-system" that would work in multi-threaded
enviroment in separate thread. It uses dynamic memory allocation, but
there can be situations where this thread shall immidiately exit. The
problem is that during the exit it shall somehow release all memory
allocated for its purpose so far. Keeping track of all pointers is
cumbersome. Much more attractive seems to be the idea of having memory
pool and allocating all of the memory inside that pool. Then at exit I
would simply deallocate whole pool. Is there any good library that
implements that?

TIA

Andrei
