/* The following macros are pretty evil but they are needed to allow us to
 * keep track of 3 possible states for the g_freeList variable:
 *  - uninitialized means that no one has created a buffer yet
 *    so no one has created the associated free list (it is created
 *    on-demand when the first buffer is created)
 *  - initialized means that the free list exists and is valid
 *  - destroyed means that the static destructors of this compilation unit
 *    have run so, the free list has been cleared from its content
 * The key is that in destroyed state, we are careful not re-create it
 * which is a typical weakness of lazy evaluation schemes which use 
 * '0' as a special value to indicate both un-initialized and destroyed.
 * Note that it is important to use '0' as the marker for un-initialized state
 * because the variable holding this state information is initialized to zero
 * which the compiler assigns to zero-memory which is initialized to _zero_
 * before the constructors run so this ensures perfect handling of crazy 
 * constructor orderings.
