Use memory allocation routines to allocate, free, and reallocate memory.

For detailed reference information about the CRT functions, see Alphabetical Function Reference (CRT).

free	Frees allocated block
_freea	Frees a block allocated by _malloca.
malloc	Allocates block of memory from heap
_malloca	Allocates memory on the stack. This function is a more secure version of _alloca.
