/** \file
|
|
* Memory pool manager (interface).
|
|
*
|
|
* A memory pool is intended for allocating memory which is required in small
|
|
* blocks and all released together. It avoids the overhead of many small
|
|
* malloc()s.
|
|
*
|
|
* Create a pool using pool_create(), and allocate memory from it using
|
|
* pool_alloc() and pool_string(). Destroy and free the entire pool using
|
|
* pool_destroy().
|
|
*
|
|
* The suggested block size should be large enough to store many allocations.
|
|
* Use a multiple of the size of contents, if fixed. Larger allocations than
|
|
* the block size are possible.
|
