/* 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 expects 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 this module will not call malloc or its
* friends realloc, calloc, and free.

* 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.
