Conversation
Write comprehensive documentation for omalloc covering: bin-based allocation design, page management, page regions, the two sticky bin mechanisms (tag-based and omGetStickyBinOfBin), spec bins, static bins, the public API layers, debug/check facilities, build configuration (--disable-omalloc, XALLOC_BIN, OM_NDEBUG), thread safety analysis, and integration with Singular's Groebner basis engine (PolyBin, tailBin, lmBin, kStratChangeTailRing lifecycle).

Thanks a lot, this is very useful indeed! If it is ok with you I will check out the PR and make another round of tweaks to the file before we merge. |

Another round of tweaks is welcome, as I don't really know much about omalloc myself. |
