/**
* \defgroup memb Memory block management functions
*
* The memory block allocation routines provide a simple yet powerful
* set of functions for managing a set of memory blocks of fixed
* size. A set of memory blocks is statically declared with the
* MEMB() macro. Memory blocks are allocated from the declared
* memory by the memb_alloc() function, and are deallocated with the
* memb_free() function.
*
* \note Because of namespace clashes only one MEMB() can be
* declared per C module, and the name scope of a MEMB() memory
* block is local to each C module.
*
* The following example shows how to declare and use a memory block
* called "cmem" which has 8 chunks of memory with each memory chunk
* being 20 bytes large.

* Example:
\code
MEMB(connections, sizeof(struct connection), 16);
\endcode
*
* \param name The name of the memory block (later used with
* memb_init(), memb_alloc() and memb_free()).
*
* \param size The size of each memory chunk, in bytes.
*
* \param num The total number of memory chunks in the block.
