/**
 * Declare a memory block.
 *
 * This macro is used to staticall declare a block of memory that can
 * be used by the block allocation functions. The macro statically
 * declares a C array with a size that matches the specified number of
 * blocks and their individual sizes.
 *
 * Example:
 \code
MEMB(connections, sizeof(struct connection), 16);
 \endcode
 *
 * \param name The name of the memory block (later used with
 * memb_init(), memb_alloc() and memb_free()).
 *
 * \param size The size of each memory chunk, in bytes.
 *
 * \param num The total number of memory chunks in the block.
