  20   The mt allocator [hereinafter referred to simply as "the allocator"]
  21   is a fixed size (power of two) allocator that was initially
  22   developed specifically to suit the needs of multi threaded
  23   applications [hereinafter referred to as an MT application]. Over
  24   time the allocator has evolved and been improved in many ways, in
  25   particular it now also does a good job in single threaded
  26   applications [hereinafter referred to as a ST application]. (Note:
  27   In this document, when referring to single threaded applications
  28   this also includes applications that are compiled with gcc without
  29   thread support enabled. This is accomplished using ifdef's on
  30   __GTHREADS). This allocator is tunable, very flexible, and capable
  31   of high-performance.
  32 </p><p>
  33   The aim of this document is to describe - from an application point of
  34   view - the "inner workings" of the allocator.
