* @title: Trash Stacks
* @short_description: maintain a stack of unused allocated memory chunks
*
* A #GTrashStack is an efficient way to keep a stack of unused allocated
* memory chunks. Each memory chunk is required to be large enough to hold
* a #gpointer. This allows the stack to be maintained without any space
* overhead, since the stack pointers can be stored inside the memory chunks.
*
* There is no function to create a #GTrashStack. A %NULL #GTrashStack*
* is a perfectly valid empty stack.
*
* There is no longer any good reason to use #GTrashStack. If you have
* extra pieces of memory, free() them and allocate them again later.
*
* Deprecated: 2.48: #GTrashStack is deprecated without replacement
