Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class Pt::BasicEvent< T >

Derive as class MyEvent : public BasicEvent<MyEvent>. T is the derived type. onTypeInfo() returns typeid(T). onClone() allocates sizeof(T) from the allocator and copy-constructs T. onDestroy() runs the BasicEvent destructor and returns that storage to the allocator.

The derived class must be copy-constructible. It does not override the three hooks unless it needs a different allocation size or copy. Construction of BasicEvent is protected, so it is only a base.
