32 //mpool This memory pools are implemented as clusters of fixed sized elements. New clusters
33 //mpool are allocated on demand or manually preallocated with a `reserve()` operation.
34 //mpool Some efforts are taken to ensure (cache) locality of the provided memory.
35 //mpool All functions are reentrant but not threadsafe, if this is desired it is advised to
36 //mpool care for proper locking elsewhere.
