Details:
This is a patch as a suggestion related to topic #1 in bug report #27235
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?27235>
Situation:
a = malloc(10);
b = malloc(10);
free(b);
Now there is a free chunk at the end of the used area of the heap.
b = malloc(20);
The new request can not be satisfied by any free chunk, therefore the used
area needs to be expanded.
Current code:
The request is satisfied completely with fresh new memory from the expansion.
Result: there is a free chunk between a and b, and the used area is bigger
than necessary.
Patch:
The free chunk at the end of the used area is delivered to the request and
the expansion is made only for the remaining part.
