I use storage pools to implement persistent objects.  I presented a
paper on the subject at Ada Europe 2010.  There is some demonstration
source code at <http://www.jacob-sparre.dk/persistence/>.

My technique is depends on a well-behaved memory mapping implementation
from your operating system.  Especially memory layout randomization
makes things more tricky than I like.
