// Sometimes it is necessary to allocate a large number of small
// objects. Doing this the usual way (malloc, new) is slow,
// especially for multithreaded programs. An UnsafeArena provides a
// mark/release method of memory management: it asks for a large chunk
// from the operating system and doles it out bit by bit as required.
// Then you free all the memory at once by calling UnsafeArena::Reset().
// The "Unsafe" refers to the fact that UnsafeArena is not safe to
// call from multiple threads.
//
// The global operator new that can be used as follows:
//
// #include "lib/arena-inl.h"
//
// UnsafeArena arena(1000);
// Foo* foo = new (AllocateInArena, &arena) Foo;

// good for IA-32, SPARC version 7 (the last one I know), and
// supposedly Alpha. i386 would be more time-efficient with a
// default alignment of 8, but ::operator new() uses alignment of 4,
// and an assertion will fail below after the call to MakeNewBlock()
// if you try to use a larger alignment.
