If you reimplement __rt_stackheap_init(), you must reimplement this function. An incomplete prototype implementation is in rt_memory.s.

This function is not part of the C library standard, but the ARM^® C library supports it as an extension.

Usage

The calling convention is ordinary AAPCS. On entry, r0 is the minimum size of the block to add, and r1 holds a pointer to a location to store the base address.

The default implementation has the following characteristics:

• The returned size is one of the following:
  • In AArch32 state, a multiple of 8 bytes of at least the requested size.
  • In AArch64 state, a multiple of 16 bytes of at least the requested size.
  • 0, denoting that the request cannot be honored.
• The returned base address is aligned on:
  • In AArch32 state, an 8-byte boundary.
  • In AArch64 state, a 16-byte boundary.
• Size is measured in bytes.
• The function is subject only to ARM Architecture Procedure Call Standard (AAPCS) constraints.

Returns

The default implementation extends the heap if there is sufficient free heap memory. If it cannot, it calls __user_heap_extend() if it is implemented. On exit, r0 is the size of the block acquired, or 0 if nothing could be obtained, and the memory location r1 pointed to on entry contains the base address of the block.
