Detailed Description

Concept for allocating, resizing and freeing memory block.

Note that Malloc() and Realloc() are non-static but Free() is static.

So if an allocator need to support Free(), it needs to put its pointer in the header of memory block.

concept Allocator {
        static const bool kNeedFree;    

        // Allocate a memory block.
        // \param size of the memory block in bytes.
        // \returns pointer to the memory block.
        void* Malloc(size_t size);

        // Resize a memory block.
        // \param originalPtr The pointer to current memory block. Null pointer is permitted.
        // \param originalSize The current size in bytes. (Design issue: since some allocator may not book-keep this, explicitly pass to it can save memory.)
        // \param newSize the new size in bytes.
        void* Realloc(void* originalPtr, size_t originalSize, size_t newSize);

        // Free a memory block.
        // \param pointer to the memory block. Null pointer is permitted.
        static void Free(void *ptr);
};
