+<p>
+An instance of this object defines the interface between SQLite
+and low-level memory allocation routines.</p>
+
+<p>This object is used in only one place in the SQLite interface.
+A pointer to an instance of this object is the argument to
+<a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config()</a> when the configuration option is
+<a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigmalloc">SQLITE_CONFIG_MALLOC</a> or <a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfiggetmalloc">SQLITE_CONFIG_GETMALLOC</a>.
+By creating an instance of this object
+and passing it to <a href="../c3ref/config.html">sqlite3_config</a>(<a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigmalloc">SQLITE_CONFIG_MALLOC</a>)
+during configuration, an application can specify an alternative
+memory allocation subsystem for SQLite to use for all of its
+dynamic memory needs.</p>
+
+<p>Note that SQLite comes with several <a href="../malloc.html#altalloc">built-in memory allocators</a>
+that are perfectly adequate for the overwhelming majority of applications
+and that this object is only useful to a tiny minority of applications
+with specialized memory allocation requirements. This object is
+also used during testing of SQLite in order to specify an alternative
+memory allocator that simulates memory out-of-memory conditions in
+order to verify that SQLite recovers gracefully from such
+conditions.</p>
+
+<p>The xMalloc, xRealloc, and xFree methods must work like the
+malloc(), realloc() and free() functions from the standard C library.
+SQLite guarantees that the second argument to
+xRealloc is always a value returned by a prior call to xRoundup.</p>
+
+<p>xSize should return the allocated size of a memory allocation
+previously obtained from xMalloc or xRealloc. The allocated size
+is always at least as big as the requested size but may be larger.</p>
+
+<p>The xRoundup method returns what would be the allocated size of
+a memory allocation given a particular requested size. Most memory
+allocators round up memory allocations at least to the next multiple
+of 8. Some allocators round up to a larger multiple or to a power of 2.
+Every memory allocation request coming in through <a href="../c3ref/free.html">sqlite3_malloc()</a>
+or <a href="../c3ref/free.html">sqlite3_realloc()</a> first calls xRoundup. If xRoundup returns 0,
+that causes the corresponding memory allocation to fail.</p>
+
+<p>The xInit method initializes the memory allocator. For example,
+it might allocate any required mutexes or initialize internal data
+structures. The xShutdown method is invoked (indirectly) by
+<a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_shutdown()</a> and should deallocate any resources acquired
+by xInit. The pAppData pointer is used as the only parameter to
+xInit and xShutdown.</p>
+
+<p>SQLite holds the <a href="../c3ref/c_mutex_fast.html">SQLITE_MUTEX_STATIC_MAIN</a> mutex when it invokes
+the xInit method, so the xInit method need not be threadsafe. The
+xShutdown method is only called from <a href="../c3ref/initialize.html">sqlite3_shutdown()</a> so it does
+not need to be threadsafe either. For all other methods, SQLite
+holds the <a href="../c3ref/c_mutex_fast.html">SQLITE_MUTEX_STATIC_MEM</a> mutex as long as the
+<a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigmemstatus">SQLITE_CONFIG_MEMSTATUS</a> configuration option is turned on (which
+it is by default) and so the methods are automatically serialized.
+However, if <a href="../c3ref/c_config_covering_index_scan.html#sqliteconfigmemstatus">SQLITE_CONFIG_MEMSTATUS</a> is disabled, then the other
+methods must be threadsafe or else make their own arrangements for
+serialization.</p>
+
+<p>SQLite will never invoke xInit() more than once without an intervening
+call to xShutdown().
