// maintaining all allocation meta data is outside of the allocated memory.
// It is passed a fallback allocator that it can request additional memory
// from as needed.
// The default allocation strategy for the allocator is first-fit, i.e. it will
// scan for free blocks sorted by addresses and allocate from the first free
// block that can fulfill the allocation. However, in some situations the
// majority of the allocations can be small ones with some large allocations.
// This may cause serious fragmentations and the failure of large allocations.
// If |small_allocation_threshold| in the ctor is set to a non-zero value, the
// class will allocate small allocations whose sizes are less than or equal to
// the threshold using last-fit, i.e. it will scan from the back to the front
// for free blocks. This way the allocation for large blocks and small blocks
// are separated thus cause much less fragmentations.
