/*
 * Interface for thread local allocation.  Memory obtained
 * this way can be used by all threads, as though it were obtained
 * from an allocator like GC_malloc.  The difference is that GC_local_malloc
 * counts the number of allocations of a given size from the current thread,
 * and uses GC_malloc_many to perform the allocations once a threashold
 * is exceeded.  Thus far less synchronization may be needed.
 * Allocation of known large objects should not use this interface.
 * This interface is designed primarily for fast allocation of small
 * objects on multiprocessors, e.g. for a JVM running on an MP server.
 *
 * If this file is included with GC_GCJ_SUPPORT defined, GCJ-style
 * bitmap allocation primitives will also be included.
 *
 * If this file is included with GC_REDIRECT_TO_LOCAL defined, then
 * GC_MALLOC, GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC, and possibly GC_GCJ_MALLOC will
 * be redefined to use the thread local allocatoor.
 *
 * The interface is available only if the collector is built with
 * -DTHREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC, which is currently supported only on Linux.
 *
 * The debugging allocators use standard, not thread-local allocation.
 *
 * These routines normally require an explicit call to GC_init(), though
 * that may be done from a constructor function.
