/* Memory pools provide simple memory management of fixed-size
   objects.  Memory pools are used for two purposes:

     o To ensure a stack can be unwound even when a process
       is out of memory.

      o To ensure a stack can be unwound at any time in a
        multi-threaded process (e.g., even at a time when the normal
        malloc-lock is taken, possibly by the very thread that is
        being unwind).


    To achieve the second objective, memory pools allocate memory
    directly via mmap() system call (or an equivalent facility).

    The first objective is accomplished by reserving memory ahead of
    time.  Since the memory requirements of stack unwinding generally
    depends on the complexity of the procedures being unwind, there is
    no absolute guarantee that unwinding will always work, but in
    practice, this should not be a serious problem.  */
