 *
 * R.Hempel 2007-09-22 - Original
 * R.Hempel 2008-12-11 - Added MIT License biolerplate
 *                     - realloc() now looks to see if previous block is free
 *                     - made common operations functions
 * R.Hempel 2009-03-02 - Added macros to disable tasking
 *                     - Added function to dump heap and check for valid free
 *                        pointer
 * R.Hempel 2009-03-09 - Changed name to umm_malloc to avoid conflicts with
 *                        the mm_malloc() library functions
 *                     - Added some test code to assimilate a free block
 *                        with the very block if possible. Complicated and
 *                        not worth the grief.
 * D.Frank 2014-04-02  - Fixed heap configuration when UMM_TEST_MAIN is NOT set,
 *                        added user-dependent configuration file umm_malloc_cfg.h
 * R.Hempel 2016-12-04 - Add support for Unity test framework
 *                     - Reorganize source files to avoid redundant content
 *                     - Move integrity and poison checking to separate file
 * R.Hempel 2017-12-29 - Fix bug in realloc when requesting a new block that
 *                        results in OOM error - see Issue 11
 * R.Hempel 2019-09-07 - Separate the malloc() and free() functionality into
 *                        wrappers that use critical section protection macros
 *                        and static core functions that assume they are
 *                        running in a protected con text. Thanks @devyte
 * R.Hempel 2020-01-07 - Add support for Fragmentation metric - See Issue 14
 * R.Hempel 2020-01-12 - Use explicitly sized values from stdint.h - See Issue 15
 * R.Hempel 2020-01-20 - Move metric functions back to umm_info - See Issue 29
 * R.Hempel 2020-02-01 - Macro functions are uppercased - See Issue 34
 * R.Hempel 2020-06-20 - Support alternate body size - See Issue 42
 * R.Hempel 2021-05-02 - Support explicit memory umm_init_heap() - See Issue 53

     * pointers is available for data. That's what the first calculation
     * of size is doing.
     *
     * We don't check for the special case of (size == 0) here as this needs
     * special handling in the caller depending on context. For example when we
     * realloc() a block to size 0 it should simply be freed.
     *
     * We do NOT need to check for allocating more blocks than the heap can
     * possibly hold - the allocator figures this out for us.

     *
     * 1. (size <= body)  Obviously this is just one block
     * 2. (blocks > (2^15)) This should return ((2^15)) to force a
     *                      failure when the allocator runs
     *
     * If the requested size is greater that 32677-2 blocks (max block index

     *    fragmentation of free memory.
     *
     * The following cases may be better handled with memory copies to reduce
     * fragmentation
     *
     * 3. If the previous block is NOT free and the next block is free and
     *    adding it to the current block gives us enough memory, assimilate
     *    the next block. This may introduce a bit of fragmentation.
     * 4. If the prev block is free and adding it to the current block gives us
     *    enough memory, remove the previous block from the free list, assimilate
     *    it, copy to the new block.
     * 5. If the prev and next blocks are free and adding them to the current
     *    block gives us enough memory, assimilate the next block, remove the
     *    previous block from the free list, assimilate it, copy to the new block.
     * 6. Otherwise try to allocate an entirely new block of memory. If the
     *    allocation works free the old block and return the new pointer. If
     *    the allocation fails, return NULL and leave the old block intact.
     *
     * TODO: Add some conditional code to optimise for less fragmentation
     *       by simply allocating new memory if we need to copy anyways.
     *
     * All that's left to do is decide if the fit was exact or not. If the fit
     * was not exact, then split the memory block so that we use only the requested
     * number of blocks and add what's left to the free list.
