  15  * Interface for thread local allocation.  Memory obtained
  16  * this way can be used by all threads, as though it were obtained
  17  * from an allocator like GC_malloc.  The difference is that GC_local_malloc
  18  * counts the number of allocations of a given size from the current thread,
  19  * and uses GC_malloc_many to perform the allocations once a threashold
  20  * is exceeded.  Thus far less synchronization may be needed.
  21  * Allocation of known large objects should not use this interface.
  22  * This interface is designed primarily for fast allocation of small
  23  * objects on multiprocessors, e.g. for a JVM running on an MP server.
  24  *
  25  * If this file is included with GC_GCJ_SUPPORT defined, GCJ-style
  26  * bitmap allocation primitives will also be included.
  27  *
  28  * If this file is included with GC_REDIRECT_TO_LOCAL defined, then
  29  * GC_MALLOC, GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC, and possibly GC_GCJ_MALLOC will
  30  * be redefined to use the thread local allocatoor.
  31  *
  32  * The interface is available only if the collector is built with
  33  * -DTHREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC, which is currently supported only on Linux.
  34  *
  35  * The debugging allocators use standard, not thread-local allocation.
