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