Why would anyone do that? It might bring performance benefits to have memory allocation that‘s optimized for a specific application. It also can make programming more convenient when you can allocate many small buffers in a pool and then not bothering about freeing each one of then and instead just free the whole pool with all allocations within.
There‘s a disadvantage with the pool allocator, and that is that it may hide bugs.
