/*
 * \brief  Allocator for anonymous memory used by libc
 * \author Norman Feske
 * \date   2012-05-18
 *
 * The libc uses a dedicated allocator instead of 'env()->heap()' because the
 * 'Allocator' interface of 'env()->heap()' does not allow for aligned
 * allocations. Some libc functions, however, rely on aligned memory. For
 * example the blocks returned by mmap for allocating anonymous memory are
 * assumed to be page-aligned.
 *
 * The code is largely based on 'base/include/base/heap.h' and
 * 'base/src/lib/base/heap.cc'.
