Detailed Description

Contains the API around LifeCycle management implementation.

This concept is here to be extended with concrete needs (e.g. Futures). The API is based on the following:

• A LifeCycleManager is a repository of some kind of objects
• A LifeCycleManager has a limited number of managed objects
• Lifecycle management is performed through the template type LifeCycle<T> that manages a T instance; lifecycle allows to move an object across memory location but always have its associated LifeCycleManager keep its latest location
• LifeCycle management starts when a LifeCycle<T> instance is registered with a LifeCycleManager
• LifeCycle management ends when a registered LifeCycle<T> instance is destroyed or explicitly deregistered from its LifeCycleManager

In addition, two template Proxy and LightProxy classes can be used as a proxy to either a static instance or a lifecycle-managed instance in a consistent way.
