The IAllocator interface class supports allocating and releasing memory dynamically.
Different APIs allow to be configured with your own implementation of an allocator to override their internal implementation.

Compares the interface ID iid against the interface ID of this interface and of its ancestors. 
true if iid == IID() or is equal to one of the interface IDs of its ancestors, and false otherwise.
