/* The module provided by this header file is intended for settings in which it
 * is not possible or desirable to rely on dynamic memory allocation. It provides
 * functions for creating, cloning, and destroying secp256k1 context objects in a
 * contiguous fixed-size block of memory provided by the caller.
 *
 * Context objects created by functions in this module can be used like contexts
 * objects created by functions in secp256k1.h, i.e., they can be passed to any
 * API function that excepts a context object (see secp256k1.h for details). The
 * only exception is that context objects created by functions in this module
 * must be destroyed using secp256k1_context_preallocated_destroy (in this
 * module) instead of secp256k1_context_destroy (in secp256k1.h).
 *
 * It is guaranteed that functions in by this module will not call malloc or its
 * friends realloc, calloc, and free.

 *  aligned to hold an object of any type.
 *
 *  The block of memory is exclusively owned by the created context object during

 *  function and ends when a call to secp256k1_context_preallocated_destroy
 *  (which destroys the context object again) returns. During the lifetime of the
 *  context object, the caller is obligated not to access this block of memory,
 *  i.e., the caller may not read or write the memory, e.g., by copying the memory
 *  contents to a different location or trying to create a second context object
 *  in the memory. In simpler words, the prealloc pointer (or any pointer derived
 *  from it) should not be used during the lifetime of the context object.
 *
