Template Classes to Manage Collections of Objects

I created some templates that I use and it is working fine for me.  The classes are designed to be fast and use very little memory.  They store pointers to classes and not objects except one.  If constructors, copy constructors, assignment and other things are added then the collection class becomes slower.  And it is not much harder to work with the class if it stores pointers to a class instead of the whole object.  Sometimes it is easier because you don't have to add functions needed for the collection class in object that is managed by it.

Usage Examples

  CBuffer<char,'0'> bufferText;
  bufferText = "This is a text.";
  bufferText += " Some more text";
  int iPosition = bufferText.Find( "Some" );

  CBuffer<int,-1> bufferInt;

  CBuffer<void*,NULL> bufferPtr;

  int iDummy;
  CMyObject* pMyObject;
  CArrayPtr<CMyObject> arrayToMyObject;
  arrayToMyObject.Add( new CMyObject() );
  iDummy = 10;
  arrayToMyObject.Add( new CMyObject( iDummy ) );
  iDummy = 20;
  arrayToMyObject.InsertAt( 1, new CMyObject( iDummy ) );
  pMyObject = arrayToMyObject.GetAt( 0 );
  iDummy = arrayToMyObject.GetSize(); // gets the value 3
  arrayToMyObject.DeleteItems();

  CMapPtr<ULONG,CXxx> mapptrToXxx;
  mapptrToXxx.InitHashTable( 21 );
  mapptrToXxx.SetAt( 10, new CXxx );
  CXxx* pXxx;
  if ( mapptrToXxx.Lookup( 10, &pXxx ) == true )
     { ... }
  mapptrToXxx.Empty( true );
