## Description

This class implements an algorithm that stores the free nodes in a red-black tree to have logarithmic search/insert times.

### `rbtree_best_fit` public types

1. typedef MutexFamily mutex_family;

   Shared interprocess_mutex family used for the rest of the Interprocess framework

### `rbtree_best_fit` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     rbtree_best_fit(std::size_t size, std::size_t extra_hdr_bytes);

   Constructor. "size" is the total size of the managed memory segment, "extra_hdr_bytes" indicates the extra bytes beginning in the sizeof(rbtree_best_fit) offset that the allocator should not use at all.

2.     ~rbtree_best_fit();

### `rbtree_best_fit` public member functions

1.     void * allocate(std::size_t nbytes) ;

2.     void deallocate(void * addr) ;

   Deallocates previously allocated bytes

3.     std::size_t get_size() const;

4.     std::size_t get_free_memory() const;

5.     void zero_free_memory() ;

   Initializes to zero all the memory that's not in use. This function is normally used for security reasons.

6.     void grow(std::size_t extra_size) ;

   Increases managed memory in extra_size bytes more

7.     void shrink_to_fit() ;

8.     bool all_memory_deallocated() ;

9.     bool check_sanity() ;

   Makes an internal sanity check and returns true if success

10.     template<typename T>
          std::pair< T *, bool >
          allocation_command(allocation_type command, std::size_t limit_size,
                             std::size_t preferred_size, std::size_t & received_size,
                             T * reuse_ptr = 0) ;

11.     std::pair< void *, bool >
        raw_allocation_command(allocation_type command, std::size_t limit_object,
                               std::size_t preferred_object,
                               std::size_t & received_object, void * reuse_ptr = 0,
                               std::size_t sizeof_object = 1) ;

12.     std::size_t size(const void * ptr) const;

13.     void * allocate_aligned(std::size_t nbytes, std::size_t alignment) ;

    Allocates aligned bytes, returns 0 if there is not more memory. Alignment must be power of 2

### `rbtree_best_fit` public static functions

1.     static std::size_t get_min_size(std::size_t extra_hdr_bytes) ;
