<br/>
Each <code><font color="blue">atomic_base</font></code> objects holds onto work space in order to
avoid repeated memory allocation calls and thereby increase speed
(until it is deleted).
If an the <code><font color="blue">atomic_base</font></code> object is global or static because,
the it does not get deleted.
This is a problem when using 
<code><font color="blue">thread_alloc</font></code> <a href="ta_free_all.xml" target="_top"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>free_all</span></a>
 
to check that all allocated memory has been freed. 
Calling this <code><font color="blue">clear</font></code> function will free all the
memory currently being held onto by the 

<code><font color="blue"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>atomic_base&lt;</span></font><i><font color="black"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>Base</span></font></i><font color="blue"><span style='white-space: nowrap'>&gt;</span></font></code>
 class.

<br/>
If there is future use of an <code><font color="blue">atomic_base</font></code> object,
after a call to <code><font color="blue">clear</font></code>,
the work space will be reallocated and held onto.
