// This function implements the logic of malloc().  It is called directly by the
// malloc() function in the Release CRT and is called by the debug heap in the
// Debug CRT.
//
// This function must be marked noinline, otherwise malloc and
// _malloc_base will have identical COMDATs, and the linker will fold
// them when calling one from the CRT. This is necessary because malloc
// needs to support users patching in custom implementations.
