Description

A basic user memory named object creation class. Inherits all basic functionality from basic_managed_memory_impl<CharType, AllocationAlgorithm, IndexType>

`basic_managed_external_buffer` public construct/copy/destruct

```
basic_managed_external_buffer();
```
Default constructor. Does nothing. Useful in combination with move semantics

basic_managed_external_buffer(create_only_t, void * addr, std::size_t size);

basic_managed_external_buffer(open_only_t, void * addr, std::size_t size);

basic_managed_external_buffer(basic_managed_external_buffer && moved);

basic_managed_external_buffer& 
operator=(basic_managed_external_buffer && moved);

`basic_managed_external_buffer` public member functions

```
void grow(std::size_t extra_bytes) ;
```
```
void swap(basic_managed_external_buffer && other) ;
```
Swaps the ownership of the managed heap memories managed by *this and other. Never throws.
