addressInArena

Return whether a pointer points inside this arena. This returns base <= ptr < (base+size) so only use it for (inclusive) chunk starting addresses.

alloc

Allocate size bytes from this arena. Returns pointer on success, or 0 if memory is full or the application tried to allocate 0 bytes.

free

Free a previously allocated chunk of memory. Freeing the zero pointer has no effect. Raises std::runtime_error in case of error.
