 Memory Allocation functions can be globally set by overriding the following macros before using the definition \_DEF macros:
 
-* M\_MEMORY\_ALLOC (type): return a pointer to a new object of type 'type'.
+* M\_MEMORY\_ALLOC (type) --> ptr: return a pointer to a new object of type 'type'.
 * M\_MEMORY\_DEL (ptr): free the single object pointed by 'ptr'.
-* M\_MEMORY\_REALLOC (type, ptr, number): return a pointer to an array of 'number' objects of type 'type', reusing the old array pointed by 'ptr'. 'ptr' can be NULL, in that case the array will be created.
+* M\_MEMORY\_REALLOC (type, ptr, number) --> ptr: return a pointer to an array of 'number' objects of type 'type', reusing the old array pointed by 'ptr'. 'ptr' can be NULL, in which case the array will be created.
 * M\_MEMORY\_FREE (ptr): free the array of objects pointed by 'ptr'.
 
 ALLOC & DEL operators are supposed to allocate fixed size single element object (no array).
