29 * Allocator for custom memory management.
30 *
31 * A UCX allocator consists of a pointer to the memory area / pool and four
32 * function pointers to memory management functions operating on this memory
33 * area / pool. These functions shall behave equivalent to the standard libc
34 * functions <code>malloc(), calloc(), realloc()</code> and <code>free()</code>.
35 *
36 * The signature of the memory management functions is based on the signature
37 * of the respective libc function but each of them takes the pointer to the
38 * memory area / pool as first argument.
39 *
40 * As the pointer to the memory area / pool can be arbitrarily chosen, any data
41 * can be provided to the memory management functions. A UcxMempool is just
42 * one example.
