50 * @ingroup grp_rt
51 *
52 * Optimized allocation, initialization, freeing and destruction of memory
53 * objects of the same kind and size. Objects are constructed once, then
54 * allocated and freed one or more times, until finally destructed together with
55 * the cache (RTMemCacheDestroy). It's expected behavior, even when pfnCtor is
56 * NULL, that the user will be store information that should be persistent
57 * across RTMemCacheFree calls.
58 *
59 * The objects are zeroed prior to calling pfnCtor. For obvious reasons, the
60 * objects are not touched by the cache after that, so that RTMemCacheAlloc will
61 * return the object in the same state as when it as handed to RTMemCacheFree.
62 *
63 * @todo A callback for the reuse (at alloc time) might be of interest.
