:mrdocs:

Return the address of the default allocator and disable all subsequent calls to the `setDefaultAllocator` method. Note that prior to the first call to `setDefaultAllocator` or `setDefaultAllocatorRaw` methods, the address of the default allocator is that of the `NewDeleteAllocator` singleton. Also note that subsequent calls to `setDefaultAllocatorRaw` method are _not_ disabled by this method.
