/*

	There are two ways to allocate memory in zsh.  The first way is
	to call zalloc/zcalloc, which call malloc/calloc directly.  It
	is legal to call realloc() or free() on memory allocated this way.
	The second way is to call halloc/hcalloc, which allocates memory
	from one of the memory pools on the heap stack.  Such memory pools 
	will automatically created when the heap allocation routines are
	called.  To be sure that they are freed at appropriate times
	one should call pushheap() before one starts using heaps and
	popheap() after that (when the memory allocated on the heaps since
	the last pushheap() isn't needed anymore).
	pushheap() saves the states of all currently allocated heaps and
	popheap() resets them to the last state saved and destroys the
	information about that state.  If you called pushheap() and
	allocated some memory on the heaps and then come to a place where
	you don't need the allocated memory anymore but you still want
	to allocate memory on the heap, you should call freeheap().  This
	works like popheap(), only that it doesn't free the information
	about the heap states (i.e. the heaps are like after the call to
	pushheap() and you have to call popheap some time later).

	Memory allocated in this way does not have to be freed explicitly;
	it will all be freed when the pool is destroyed.  In fact,
	attempting to free this memory may result in a core dump.
	The pair of pointers ncalloc and alloc may point to either
	zalloc & zcalloc or halloc & hcalloc; permalloc() sets them to the
	former, and heapalloc() sets them to the latter. This can be useful.
	For example, the dupstruct() routine duplicates a syntax tree,
	allocating the new memory for the tree using alloc().  If you want
	to duplicate a structure for a one-time use (i.e. to execute the list
	in a for loop), call heapalloc(), then dupstruct().  If you want
	to duplicate a structure in order to preserve it (i.e. a function
	definition), call permalloc(), then dupstruct().

	If we use zsh's own allocator we use a simple trick to avoid that
	the (*real*) heap fills up with empty zsh-heaps: we allocate a
	large block of memory before allocating a heap pool, this memory
	is freed again immediately after the pool is allocated. If there
	are only small blocks on the free list this guarantees that the
	memory for the pool is at the end of the memory which means that
	we can give it back to the system when the pool is freed.

/*
   Below is a simple segment oriented memory allocator for systems on
   which it is better than the system's one. Memory is given in blocks
   aligned to an integer multiple of sizeof(long) (4 bytes on most machines,
   but 8 bytes on e.g. a dec alpha). Each block is preceded by a header
   which contains the length of the data part (in bytes). In allocated
   blocks only this field of the structure m_hdr is senseful. In free
   blocks the second field (next) is a pointer to the next free segment
   on the free list.

   On top of this simple allocator there is a second allocator for small
   chunks of data. It should be both faster and less space-consuming than
   using the normal segment mechanism for such blocks.
   For the first M_NSMALL-1 possible sizes memory is allocated in arrays
   that can hold M_SNUM blocks. Each array is stored in one segment of the
   main allocator. In these segments the third field of the header structure
   (free) contains a pointer to the first free block in the array. The
   last field (used) gives the number of already used blocks in the array.

   If the macro name ZSH_MEM_DEBUG is defined, some information about the memory
   usage is stored. This information can than be viewed by calling the
   builtin `mem' (which is only available if ZSH_MEM_DEBUG is set).

   If ZSH_MEM_WARNING is defined, error messages are printed in case of errors.

   If ZSH_SECURE_FREE is defined, free() checks if the given address is really
   one that was returned by malloc(), it ignores it if it wasn't (printing
   an error message if ZSH_MEM_WARNING is also defined).
