 * Memory block allocation routines.
 * \author Adam Dunkels <adam@sics.se>
 *
 * The memory block allocation routines provide a simple yet powerful
 * set of functions for managing a set of memory blocks of fixed
 * size. A set of memory blocks is statically declared with the
 * MEMB() macro. Memory blocks are allocated from the declared
 * memory by the memb_alloc() function, and are deallocated with the
 * memb_free() function.
 *
 * \note Because of namespace clashes only one MEMB() can be
 * declared per C module, and the name scope of a MEMB() memory
 * block is local to each C module.
 *
 * The following example shows how to declare and use a memory block
 * called "cmem" which has 8 chunks of memory with each memory chunk
 * being 20 bytes large.
 *
 \code
 MEMB(cmem, 20, 8);

 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char *ptr;
    
    memb_init(&cmem);

    ptr = memb_alloc(&cmem);

    if(ptr != NULL) {
       do_something(ptr);
    } else {
       printf("Could not allocate memory.\n");
    }

    if(memb_free(ptr) == 0) {
       printf("Deallocation succeeded.\n");
    }
 }
 \endcode
