/*
* 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.
