Detailed Description

This file contains the class functions for a "pool" based memory allocator.

These functions manage the block chain that makes up the memory pool and allocates memory from the individual blocks. The entire pool is freed at once.

The pool allocator was originally written as a low level allocation package. The original package queries the system to find the page size and allocation block size. This version has been simplified, but some of the low level nature remains.

The documentation in this file is formatted for doxygen (see www.doxyeng.org).
