Classes
class	ACE_Malloc_Header
	This is the control block header. It's used by ACE_Malloc to keep track of each chunk of data when it's in the free list or in use. More...

Detailed Description

This information is stored in memory allocated by the Memory_Pool.

This class implements the control block structure that can be used in a "position indepent" fashion, i.e., you don't need to "map" the underlying memory pool to the same address in processes sharing the memory. The tradoff of this flexibility is more expensive malloc/free operations.
