/* This is a basic "malloc" implementation intended for use with small,
   low-latency memories.

   Compared to the "simple" allocator, this one is designed to keep the
   metadata and heap together (no slow memory needed), and prioritize
   space-efficiency over algorithm speed (the memory already being
   low-latency).

   To use this template, define BASIC_ALLOC_PREFIX, and then #include the
   source file.  The other configuration macros are optional.

   The root heap descriptor is stored in the first bytes of the heap, and each
   free chunk contains a similar descriptor for the next free chunk in the
   chain.

   The descriptor is two values: offset and size, which describe the
   location of a chunk of memory available for allocation. The offset is
   relative to the base of the heap.  The special offset value 0xffffffff
   indicates that the heap (free chain) is locked.  The offset and size are
   32-bit values so the base alignment can be 8-bytes.

   Memory is allocated to the first free chunk that fits.  The free chain
   is always stored in order of the offset to assist coalescing adjacent
   chunks.  */
