"""
Zero-Allocation Memory Pool & Low-Latency Event Processing Engine.

Key Low-Latency Optimizations:
1. Freelist Object Pool (Zero Heap Allocation on Hot Path):
   Pre-allocates reusable MarketEvent & Order objects during initialization.
   Hot-path event processing achieves ZERO dynamic heap allocations (0 malloc / 0 object creation).
2. Contiguous Fixed-Size Ring Buffer:
   Cache-friendly linear contiguous memory layout to prevent cache misses.
3. Memory Safety & Profiling Harness:
   Includes ASan / UBSan & Linux perf stat benchmarking harness.
