25 /* These routines allocate space for an object. The assumption is
26 that the object will want to allocate space as it goes along, but
27 will never want to free any particular block. There is a function
28 to free a block, which also frees all more recently allocated
29 blocks. There is also a function to free all the allocated space.
31 This is essentially a specialization of obstacks. The main
32 difference is that a block may not be allocated a bit at a time.
33 Another difference is that these routines are always built on top
34 of malloc, and always pass an malloc failure back to the caller,
35 unlike more recent versions of obstacks. */

38 refer to these fields, nor should they allocate these structure
39 themselves. Instead, they should only create them via

41 listed below. The structure is only defined here so that we can
