MORECORE_FAILURE (default: -1)
The value returned upon failure of MORECORE.
MORECORE_CLEARS (default 1)
- True (1) if the routine mapped to MORECORE zeroes out memory (which
- holds for sbrk).
+ The degree to which the routine mapped to MORECORE zeroes out
+ memory: never (0), only for newly allocated space (1) or always
+ (2). The distinction between (1) and (2) is necessary because on
+ some systems, if the application first decrements and then
+ increments the break value, the contents of the reallocated space
+ are unspecified.
