Description
Hey there,
So it looks like around 2016 BuddyAllocator had it's CleanUpAllocations and Deallocate method removed.
Was this an oversight while testing something, or an indication that BuddyAllocator as a whole has some subtle bug in it that makes it not fit for purpose?
Many thanks,
Alister

Done means establishing whether their removal was intentional or a defect and documenting a clear, agreed resolution.
