+ If possible, gives memory back to the system (via negative

+ the malloc pool. You can call this after freeing large blocks of
|
|
|
|
+ memory to potentially reduce the system-level memory requirements
|
|
|
|
+ of a program. However, it cannot guarantee to reduce memory. Under
|
|
|
|
+ some allocation patterns, some large free blocks of memory will be
|
|
|
|
+ locked between two used chunks, so they cannot be given back to
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
+ The `pad' argument to malloc_trim represents the amount of free
|
|
|
|
+ trailing space to leave untrimmed. If this argument is zero,
|
|
|
|
+ only the minimum amount of memory to maintain internal data
|
|
|
|
+ structures will be left (one page or less). Non-zero arguments
|
|
|
|
+ can be supplied to maintain enough trailing space to service
|
|
|

+ future expected allocations without having to re-obtain memory
|
|
|
