+ *
+ * palloc.h
+ * POSTGRES memory allocator definitions.
+ *
+ * This file contains the basic memory allocation interface that is
+ * needed by almost every backend module. It is included directly by
+ * postgres.h, so the definitions here are automatically available
+ * everywhere. Keep it lean!
+ *
+ * Memory allocation occurs within "contexts". Every chunk obtained from
+ * palloc()/MemoryContextAlloc() is allocated within a specific context.
+ * The entire contents of a context can be freed easily and quickly by
+ * resetting or deleting the context --- this is both faster and less
+ * prone to memory-leakage bugs than releasing chunks individually.
+ * We organize contexts into context trees to allow fine-grain control
+ * over chunk lifetime while preserving the certainty that we will free
+ * everything that should be freed. See utils/mmgr/README for more info.
