20 // would be allocated on the stack and allows us to avoid heap operations in
21 // some situations.
23 // STL likes to make copies of allocators, so the allocator itself can't hold
24 // the data. Instead, we make the creator responsible for creating a
25 // StackAllocator::Source which contains the data. Copying the allocator
26 // merely copies the pointer to this shared source, so all allocators created
27 // based on our allocator will share the same stack buffer.
29 // This stack buffer implementation is very simple. The first allocation that
30 // fits in the stack buffer will use the stack buffer. Any subsequent
31 // allocations will not use the stack buffer, even if there is unused room.
32 // This makes it appropriate for array-like containers, but the caller should
33 // be sure to reserve() in the container up to the stack buffer size. Otherwise
34 // the container will allocate a small array which will "use up" the stack
35 // buffer.
