// allocator.h: a buffer allocator that allows avoiding most of the
// malloc/free overhead, by:
// 1. Requiring all N allocations to be reserved in advance, and
// then commited at once, turning N allocations into 1.
// 2. Being persistent, the allocated storage is reused across commits,
// and only reallocated as needed when the commit size gets larger.
//
// This is driven by Android-specific needs:
// 1. On Android, the default (Bionic) allocator tends to aggressively
// unmap pages, which means that malloc/free can be surprisingly expensive.
// 2. On Android, stack allocations with alloca() can't be as large as on
// desktop platforms.
//
// General usage:
// 1. Reserve blocks by calling Reserve(), which returns a Handle.
// 2. Call Commit() once.
// 3. Now it is possible to get pointers to allocated buffers by calling
// GetPointer().
// 4. Call Decommit() once.
// 5. The allocator is now reverted to its original state, except that
// it retained its allocated storage, so the next Commit() will be faster.
// The allocated storage is only freed when the Allocator object is
// destroyed.
