/**
* @defgroup Eina_Memory_Pool_Group Memory Pool
* @ingroup Eina_Tools_Group
* @brief This group discusses the functions that provide memory pool management.
*
* Several mempools are available:
*
* @li @c chained_pool: It is the default one. It allocates a big
* chunk of memory with malloc() and splits the result into chunks of the
* requested size that are pushed inside a stack. When requested, it
* takes this pointer from the stack to give them to whoever wants
* them.
* @li @c pass_through: it just call malloc() and free(). It may be
* faster on some computers than using our own allocators (like having
* a huge L2 cache, over 4MB).
* @li @c one_big: It calls malloc() just one time for the requested number
* of items. This is useful when you know in advance how many objects of some
* type live during the life of the mempool.
