Classes
class	amrex::Arena
	A virtual base class for objects that manage their own dynamic memory allocation. More...
class	amrex::CArena
	A Concrete Class for Dynamic Memory Management using first fit. This is a coalescing memory manager. It allocates (possibly) large chunks of heap space and apportions it out as requested. It merges together neighboring chunks on each free(). More...
