Detailed Description

This class is used to efficiently allocate memory on the heap.

It allows us to allocate small blocks of memory (smaller or equal to 1024 bytes) efficiently. This implementation is inspired by the small block allocator described here : http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Small_Block_Allocator.asp
