Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class ucommon::temporary< T >

Manage temporary object stored on the heap.

This is used to create a object on the heap who's scope is controlled by the scope of a member function call. Sometimes we have data types and structures which cannot themselves appear as auto variables. We may also have a limited stack frame size in a thread context, and yet have a dynamic object that we only want to exist during the life of the method call. Using temporary allows any type to be created from the heap but have a lifespan of a method's stack frame.
