*
* 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.
