As you explain, the FPC heap manager is what requires this
information.
The MemSize function is standard functionality of the FPC heap
managers,
and so is checking whether the correct size is specified when calling
freemem(p,size).
I see... On the other hand, documentation
(http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu160.html) says that
MemSize() should return the total amount of memory available for
allocation; and can return 0 in case this functionality is not
supported.
It's probably a copy/paste error from the documentation for memavail,
please file a bug report. Thanks.
In contrast, the RTL docs postulate that MemSize() should return the
size
of a previous allocated memory chunk. Which is what I always thought
that
MemSize() did.
Indeed.
