 * palloc.h
 *	  POSTGRES memory allocator definitions.
 *
 * This file contains the basic memory allocation interface that is
 * needed by almost every backend module.  It is included directly by
 * postgres.h, so the definitions here are automatically available
 * everywhere.  Keep it lean!
 *
 * Memory allocation occurs within "contexts".  Every chunk obtained from
 * palloc()/MemoryContextAlloc() is allocated within a specific context.
 * The entire contents of a context can be freed easily and quickly by
 * resetting or deleting the context --- this is both faster and less
 * prone to memory-leakage bugs than releasing chunks individually.
 * We organize contexts into context trees to allow fine-grain control
 * over chunk lifetime while preserving the certainty that we will free
 * everything that should be freed.  See utils/mmgr/README for more info.
