// Class description:
//
// Class implementing a memory pool for fast allocation and deallocation
// of memory chunks.  The size of the chunks for small allocated objects
// is fixed to 1Kb and takes into account of memory alignment; for large
// objects it is set to 10 times the object's size.
// The implementation is derived from: B.Stroustrup, The C++ Programming
// Language, Third Edition.
