   8 /* Exim gets and frees all its store through these functions. In the original
   9 implementation there was a lot of mallocing and freeing of small bits of store.
  10 The philosophy has now changed to a scheme which includes the concept of
  11 "stacking pools" of store. For the short-lived processes, there isn't any real
  12 need to do any garbage collection, but the stack concept allows quick resetting
  13 in places where this seems sensible.
  14
  15 Obviously the long-running processes (the daemon, the queue runner, and eximon)
  16 must take care not to eat store.
  17
  18 The following different types of store are recognized:
  19
  20 . Long-lived, large blocks: This is implemented by retaining the original
  21   malloc/free functions, and it used for permanent working buffers and for
  22   getting blocks to cut up for the other types.
  23
  24 . Long-lived, small blocks: This is used for blocks that have to survive until
  25   the process exits. It is implemented as a stacking pool (POOL_PERM). This is
  26   functionally the same as store_malloc(), except that the store can't be
  27   freed, but I expect it to be more efficient for handling small blocks.
  28
  29 . Short-lived, short blocks: Most of the dynamic store falls into this
  30   category. It is implemented as a stacking pool (POOL_MAIN) which is reset
  31   after accepting a message when multiple messages are received by a single
  32   process. Resetting happens at some other times as well, usually fairly
  33   locally after some specific processing that needs working store.
  34
  35 . There is a separate pool (POOL_SEARCH) that is used only for lookup storage.
  36   This means it can be freed when search_tidyup() is called to close down all
  37   the lookup caching.
