#arena.c — Two-file C Arena Allocator

Implements a simple arena allocator. It is particularly useful for functions with lots of temporary allocations (strings, linked lists, etc.) as you don't have to keep track of every little allocation, and can instead free all memory used afterwards.

See arena.h for more information.

#Requirements

• C compiler and libc supporting the C99 standard.
