  34 <h3>Hashtables</h3>
  35
  36         <p><tt>GHashTable</tt> is used when you need to store object
  37         references into a hashtable, objects stored in a
  38         <tt>MonoGHashTable</tt> are properly tracked by the garbage
  39         collector.
  40
  41         <p>The <tt>MonoGHashTable</tt> data type has the same API as
  42         the GLIB.

  59 <h3>Raw buffer</h3>
  60
  61         <p>Raw buffers provide an abstraction to load segments of
  62         files into memory.  If the operating system supports it, the
  63         files are not loaded, but are mapped into the address space of
  64         the process (On Unix, this is done using the <tt>mmap(2)</tt>
  65         system call).

  89 <h3>Memory Pools</h3>
  90
  91         <p>Memory pools are a convenient way of tracking memory
  92         allocations that are used for one specific task, they are also
  93         faster than using the standard memory allocation procedures,
  94         as they are designed to be used only by a single thread at a
  95         time.
  96
  97         <p><tt>MonoMemPool</tt> objects are not thread safe, which
  98         means that you should not share the objects across multiple
  99         threads without providing proper locking around it (unlike
 100         <tt>malloc</tt> and <tt>free</tt> which are thread safe).
 101
 102         <p>When a <tt>MonoMemPool</tt> is released with
 103         <tt>mono_mempool_destroy</tt> all of the of the memory
 104         allocated from that memory pool with
 105         <tt>mono_mempool_alloc</tt> and <tt>mono_mempool_alloc0</tt>
 106         is released.
