An Allocation Group makes it easy to allocate multiple blocks of memory and free them all simultanously.  An allocation group is useful for keeping track of multiple blocks of memory which are allocated at the same time (such as during initialization) and need to be deallocated at the same time. The allocation group maintains a list of allocated blocks, and can deallocate them all simultaneously which can be usefull for cleaning up after a partially initialized object fails. The allocation group implementation is built on top of the lower level allocation functions defined in pa_util.h*/#ifdef __cplusplusextern "C"{#endif /* __cplusplus */typedef struct{    long linkCount;    struct PaUtilAllocationGroupLink *linkBlocks;    struct PaUtilAllocationGroupLink *spareLinks;    struct PaUtilAllocationGroupLink *allocations;}PaUtilAllocationGroup;/** Create an allocation group.*/PaUtilAllocationGroup* PaUtil_CreateAllocationGroup( void );/** Destroy an allocation group, but not the memory allocated through the group.*/void PaUtil_DestroyAllocationGroup( PaUtilAllocationGroup* group );/** Allocate a block of memory though an allocation group.*/void* PaUtil_GroupAllocateMemory( PaUtilAllocationGroup* group, long size );/** Free a block of memory that was previously allocated though an allocation group.
