/**
* The Placement Factory is used to create objects at runtime in a specific pool.
* In general, this should be avoided and it should only be used if you know what you are doing.
* You are not allowed to use this container with a type that allocates memory internally like ArrayList.
*
* Also, you have to check the returned pointer in generate against nullptr!
*
* A backend of Type StorageManagerIF must be given as a place to store the new objects.
* Therefore ThreadSafety is only provided by your StorageManager Implementation.
*
* Objects must be destroyed by the user with "destroy"! Otherwise the pool will not be cleared.
*
* The concept is based on the placement new operator.
*
* @warning Do not use with any Type that allocates memory internally!
* @ingroup container
