2  * Composable allocators
3  *
4  * This module uses a composing system - allocators implementing various
5  * strategies allocate memory in bulk from another backend allocator,
6  * "chained" in as a template alias or string parameter.
7  *
8  * Various allocation strategies allow for various capabilities - e.g.
9  * some strategies may not keep metadata required to free the memory of
10  * individual instances. Code should test the presence of primitives
11  * (methods in allocator mixin instances) accordingly.
12  *
13  * Most allocators have two parts: data and implementation. The split is
14  * done to allow all implementation layers to share the same "this"
15  * pointer. Each "Impl" part takes its "data" part as an alias.
16  *
17  * The underlying allocator (or its implementation instantiation) is
18  * passed in as an alias template parameter. This means that it has to be
19  * a symbol, the address of which is known in the scope of the allocator
20  * - thus, something scoped in the same class/struct, or a global variable.
21  *
22  * Allocator kinds:
23  *
24  * * Homogeneous allocators, once instantiated, can only allocate values
25  *   only of the type specified in the template parameter. Attempting to
26  *   allocate a different type will result in a compile-time error.
27  *
28  * * Heterogenous allocators are not bound by one type. One instance can
29  *   allocate values of multiple types.
30  *
31  * Allocator primitives:
32  *
33  * allocate
34  *   Return a pointer to a new instance.
35  *   The returned object is not initialized.
36  *   The only mandatory primitive.
37  *
38  * create
39  *   Allocate and initialize/construct a new instance of T, with the
40  *   supplied parameters.
41  *
42  * free
43  *   Free memory at the given pointer, assuming it was allocated by the
44  *   same allocator.
45  *
46  * destroy
47  *   Finalize and free the given pointer.
48  *
49  * allocateMany
50  *   Allocate an array of values, with the given size. Allocators which
51  *   support this primitive are referred to as "bulk allocators".
52  *
53  * freeMany
54  *   Free memory for the given array of values.
55  *
56  * resize
57  *   Resize an array of values. Reallocate if needed.
58  *
59  * freeAll
60  *   Free all memory allocated using the given allocator, at once.
61  *   Deallocates storage from underlying allocator, if applicable.
62  *
63  * clear
64  *   Mark all memory allocated by the top-layer allocator as free.
65  *   Does not deallocate memory from underlying allocator.
