Memory Allocators

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The #GAllocator is used as an efficient way to allocate small pieces of
memory for use with the #GList, #GSList and #GNode data structures.
It uses a #GMemChunk so elements are allocated in groups, rather than
individually.
</para>
<para>
The #GList, #GSList and #GNode implementations create default #GAllocator
objects, which are probably sufficient for most purposes. These default
allocators use blocks of 128 elements.
</para>
<para>
To use your own #GAllocator, create it with g_allocator_new(). Then
use g_list_push_allocator(), g_slist_push_allocator() or
g_node_push_allocator() before any code which allocates new #GList, #GSList
or #GNode elements respectively. After allocating the new elements, you must
use g_list_pop_allocator(), g_slist_pop_allocator() or g_node_pop_allocator()
to restore the previous allocators.
</para>
<para>
Note that you cannot use the same allocator for #GList, #GSList and #GNode
elements. Each must use separate allocators.
Prior to 2.10, #GAllocator was used as an efficient way to allocate
small pieces of memory for use with the #GList, #GSList and #GNode data
structures. Since 2.10, it has been completely replaced by the
