/* buffer.c: ALLOCATION BUFFER IMPLEMENTATION
 *
 * $Id$
 * Copyright (c) 2001 Ravenbrook Limited.  See end of file for license.
 *
 * .purpose: This is (part of) the implementation of allocation buffers.
 * Several macros which also form part of the implementation are in
 * <code/mps.h>.  Several macros forming part of <code/mps.h> should be
 * consistent with the macros and functions in this module.
 *
 * DESIGN
 *
 * .design: See <design/buffer/>.
 *
 * .ap.async: The mutator is allowed to change certain AP fields
 * asynchronously.  Functions that can be called on buffers not
 * synchronized with the mutator must take care when reading these
 * fields.  Such functions are marked with this tag.
 *
 * TRANSGRESSIONS
 *
 * .trans.mod: There are several instances where pool structures are
 * directly accessed by this module because <code/pool.c> does not provide
 * an adequate (or adequately documented) interface.  They bear this
 * tag.  */
