Return a block of memory of the specified size (in bytes).
Return the address of a contiguous block of memory of the specified size (in bytes) according to the alignment strategy specified at construction. If size is 0, no memory is allocated and 0 is returned. If the allocation request exceeds the remaining free memory space in the current internal buffer, use the allocator supplied at construction to allocate a new internal buffer, then allocate memory from the new buffer.
