// The SlabAllocator allocates objects out of one or more fixed-size contiguous "slabs" of memory.
// This makes it very quick to allocate and deallocate fixed-size objects because the allocator only
// needs to index an offset into pre-allocated memory. It is similar to a pool-allocator that
// recycles memory from previous allocations, except multiple allocations are hosted contiguously in
// one large slab.
//
// Internally, the SlabAllocator stores slabs as a linked list to avoid extra indirections indexing
// into an std::vector. To service an allocation request, the allocator only needs to know the first
// currently available slab. There are three backing linked lists: AVAILABLE, FULL, and RECYCLED.
// A slab that is AVAILABLE can be used to immediately service allocation requests. Once it has no
// remaining space, it is moved to the FULL state. When a FULL slab sees any deallocations, it is
// moved to the RECYCLED state. The RECYCLED state is separate from the AVAILABLE state so that
// deallocations don't immediately prepend slabs to the AVAILABLE list, and change the current slab
// servicing allocations. When the AVAILABLE list becomes empty is it swapped with the RECYCLED
// list.
//
// Allocated objects are placement-allocated with some extra info at the end (we'll call the Object
// plus the extra bytes a "block") used to specify the constant index of the block in its parent
// slab, as well as the index of the next available block. So, following the block next-indices
// forms a linked list of free blocks.
//
// Slab creation: When a new slab is allocated, sufficient memory is allocated for it, and then the
// slab metadata plus all of its child blocks are placement-allocated into the memory. Indices and
// next-indices are initialized to form the free-list of blocks.
//
// Allocation: When an object is allocated, if there is no space available in an existing slab, a
// new slab is created (or an old slab is recycled). The first block of the slab is removed and
// returned.
//
// Deallocation: When an object is deallocated, it can compute the pointer to its parent slab
// because it stores the index of its own allocation. That block is then prepended to the slab's
// free list.
