// With -prealloc, V calls libc's malloc to get chunks, each at least 16MB
// in size, as needed. Once a chunk is available, all malloc() calls within
// V code, that can fit inside the chunk, will use it instead, each bumping a
// pointer, till the chunk is filled. Once a chunk is filled, a new chunk will
// be allocated by calling libc's malloc, and the process continues.
// Each new chunk has a pointer to the old one, and at the end of the program,
// the entire linked list of chunks is freed.
// The goal of all this is to amortize the cost of calling libc's malloc,
// trading higher memory usage for a compiler (or any single threaded batch
// mode program), for a ~8-10% speed increase.
// Note: `-prealloc` is NOT safe to be used for multithreaded programs!

// size of the preallocated chunk
