/* These routines allocate space for an object. The assumption is
26
that the object will want to allocate space as it goes along, but
27
will never want to free any particular block. There is a function
28
to free a block, which also frees all more recently allocated
29
blocks. There is also a function to free all the allocated space.
31
This is essentially a specialization of obstacks. The main
32
difference is that a block may not be allocated a bit at a time.
33
Another difference is that these routines are always built on top
34
of malloc, and always pass an malloc failure back to the caller,
35
unlike more recent versions of obstacks. */

/* This is what an objalloc structure looks like. Callers should not

refer to these fields, nor should they allocate these structure

themselves. Instead, they should only create them via

objalloc_init, and only access them via the functions and macros
41
listed below. The structure is only defined here so that we can
