 you have a pointer to a file-handle that needs to be closed. In this case, you
 can register a callback with the wmem_register_cleanup_callback function

- - the allocator

 3.1 Available Allocator Back-Ends
 
 Each available allocator type has a corresponding entry in the
-wmem_allocator_type_t enumeration defined in wmem_core.h.
-
-The currently available allocators are:
- - WMEM_ALLOCATOR_SIMPLE (wmem_allocator_simple.*)
-        A trivial allocator that g_allocs requested memory and tracks
-        allocations via a GHashTable. As simple as possible, intended more as
-        a demo than for practical usage. Also has the benefit of being friendly
-        to tools like valgrind.
- - WMEM_ALLOCATOR_BLOCK (wmem_allocator_block.*)
-        A block allocator that grabs large chunks of memory at a time
-        (8 MB currently) and serves allocations out of those chunks.
-        Designed for efficiency, especially in the free_all operation.
- - WMEM_ALLOCATOR_STRICT (wmem_allocator_strict.*)
-        An allocator that does its best to find invalid memory usage via
-        things like canaries and scrubbing freed memory. Valgrind is the
-        better choice on platforms that support it.
