26/// Default allocation function for handlers.
27/**
28 * Asynchronous operations may need to allocate temporary objects. Since
29 * asynchronous operations have a handler function object, these temporary
30 * objects can be said to be associated with the handler.
31 *
32 * Implement asio_handler_allocate and asio_handler_deallocate for your own
33 * handlers to provide custom allocation for these temporary objects.
34 *
35 * The default implementation of these allocation hooks uses <tt>::operator
36 * new</tt> and <tt>::operator delete</tt>.
37 *
38 * @note All temporary objects associated with a handler will be deallocated
39 * before the upcall to the handler is performed. This allows the same memory to
40 * be reused for a subsequent asynchronous operation initiated by the handler.
41 *
42 * @par Example
43 * @code
44 * class my_handler;
45 *
46 * void* asio_handler_allocate(std::size_t size, my_handler* context)
47 * {
48 * return ::operator new(size);
49 * }
50 *
51 * void asio_handler_deallocate(void* pointer, std::size_t size,
52 * my_handler* context)
53 * {
54 * ::operator delete(pointer);
55 * }
56 * @endcode
