/*
 * Allocation policies are used to implement the standard allocation behaviors
 * in a customizable way.  Additionally, custom behaviors may be added to these
 * behaviors, such as additionally reporting an error through an out-of-band
 * mechanism when OOM occurs.  The concept modeled here is as follows:
 *
 *  - public copy constructor, assignment, destructor
 *  - template <typename T> T* pod_malloc(size_t)
 *      Responsible for OOM reporting when null is returned.
 *  - template <typename T> T* pod_calloc(size_t)
 *      Responsible for OOM reporting when null is returned.
 *  - template <typename T> T* pod_realloc(T*, size_t, size_t)
 *      Responsible for OOM reporting when null is returned.  The old allocation
 *      size is passed in, in addition to the new allocation size requested.
 *  - void free_(void*)
 *  - void reportAllocOverflow() const
 *      Called on allocation overflow (that is, an allocation implicitly tried
 *      to allocate more than the available memory space -- think allocating an
 *      array of large-size objects, where N * size overflows) before null is
 *      returned.
 *
 * mfbt provides (and typically uses by default) only MallocAllocPolicy, which
 * does nothing more than delegate to the malloc/alloc/free functions.

/*
 * A policy that straightforwardly uses malloc/calloc/realloc/free and adds no
