Object lifetime manager a complementary pattern for controlling object creation and destruction

TL;DR: The Object Lifecycle Manager pattern can be used to govern the entire lifecycle of objects, from creating them prior to their first use to ensuring they are destroyed properly at program termination.

Abstract: Creational patterns, such as Singleton and Factory Method [1], address object construction and initialization, but do not consider object destruction. In some applications, however, object destruction is as important as object construction. The Object Lifecycle Manager pattern addresses issues associated with object destruction. Object Lifecycle Manager is also an example of a complementary pattern, which completes or extends other patterns. In particular, the Object Lifecycle Manager pattern completes creational patterns by considering the entire lifecycle of objects. 1I ntent The Object Lifecycle Managerpattern can be used to govern the entire lifecycle of objects, from creating them prior to their first use to ensuring they are destroyed properly at program termination. In addition, this pattern can be used to replace static object creation (and destruction) with dynamic object preallocation (and deallocation) that occurs automatically during application initialization (and termination).
