Constructor & Destructor Documentation

fastAlloc::fastAlloc ( const unsigned int size,

const unsigned int atatime

)

Creates a class instance which returns blocks of size bytes.
When new blocks are allocated, atatime blocks are allocated. We want to align the data on powers-of-two boundaries 4, 8, or 16 since many architectures restrict the address of some data objects such as doubles.
