/**********************************************************************************************
*
*   rmem - raylib memory pool and objects pool
*
*   A quick, efficient, and minimal free list and arena-based allocator
*
*   PURPOSE:
*     - A quicker, efficient memory allocator alternative to 'malloc' and friends.
*     - Reduce the possibilities of memory leaks for beginner developers using Raylib.
*     - Being able to flexibly range check memory if necessary.
*
*   CONFIGURATION:
*
*   #define RMEM_IMPLEMENTATION
*       Generates the implementation of the library into the included file.
*       If not defined, the library is in header only mode and can be included in other headers
*       or source files without problems. But only ONE file should hold the implementation.
*
