 * @title: Trash Stacks
 * @short_description: maintain a stack of unused allocated memory chunks
 *
 * A #GTrashStack is an efficient way to keep a stack of unused allocated
 * memory chunks. Each memory chunk is required to be large enough to hold
 * a #gpointer. This allows the stack to be maintained without any space
 * overhead, since the stack pointers can be stored inside the memory chunks.
 *
 * There is no function to create a #GTrashStack. A %NULL #GTrashStack*
 * is a perfectly valid empty stack.
 *
 * There is no longer any good reason to use #GTrashStack.  If you have
 * extra pieces of memory, free() them and allocate them again later.
 *
 * Deprecated: 2.48: #GTrashStack is deprecated without replacement
