  32  * @short_description: maintain a stack of unused allocated memory chunks
  33  *
  34  * A #GTrashStack is an efficient way to keep a stack of unused allocated
  35  * memory chunks. Each memory chunk is required to be large enough to hold
  36  * a #gpointer. This allows the stack to be maintained without any space
  37  * overhead, since the stack pointers can be stored inside the memory chunks.
  38  *
  39  * There is no function to create a #GTrashStack. A %NULL #GTrashStack*
  40  * is a perfectly valid empty stack.
  41  *
  42  * There is no longer any good reason to use #GTrashStack.  If you have
  43  * extra pieces of memory, free() them and allocate them again later.
  44  *
