Patchalloc is a C++ allocator that is very efficient when handling
many small memory requests (for example, from lists).
When deallocating, the memory is added to a memory pool
and will be recycled if memory of the same size is requested.

The source code is available here: <br>
<A HREF=goodies/patchalloc.h> patchalloc.h <br>
</A> <A HREF=goodies/patchalloc.cpp> patchalloc.cpp </A> <br>

The allocator can be used by providing the patchalloc type to the container,
for example:

<P><tt>
std::list&lt;int, patch_allocator::patchalloc&lt;int&gt; &gt;
</tt></P>
