PR bootstrap/87747 would have been significantly easier to track down if the pool allocator had faulted an attempt to configure it to allocate zero-sized objects. Instead, this slipped through and we later hit memory corruption when the assumed size turned out to be different to the configured size.
While, theoretically, there might be a use case for this, it seems unlikely to me that GCC would have such a use. So this patch adds a checking assert that the object size is not zero. * alloc-pool.h (base_pool_allocator <TBlockAllocator>::initialize): Assert that the allocation size is not zero. OK?
