/* INTERNAL_SIZE_T is the word-size used for internal bookkeeping of
chunk sizes.
The default version is the same as size_t.
While not strictly necessary, it is best to define this as an
unsigned type, even if size_t is a signed type. This may avoid some
artificial size limitations on some systems.
On a 64-bit machine, you may be able to reduce malloc overhead by
defining INTERNAL_SIZE_T to be a 32 bit `unsigned int' at the
expense of not being able to handle more than 2^32 of malloced
space. If this limitation is acceptable, you are encouraged to set
this unless you are on a platform requiring 16byte alignments. In
this case the alignment requirements turn out to negate any
potential advantages of decreasing size_t word size.
Implementors: Beware of the possible combinations of:
- INTERNAL_SIZE_T might be signed or unsigned, might be 32 or 64 bits,
and might be the same width as int or as long
- size_t might have different width and signedness as INTERNAL_SIZE_T
- int and long might be 32 or 64 bits, and might be the same width
To deal with this, most comparisons and difference computations
among INTERNAL_SIZE_Ts should cast them to unsigned long, being
aware of the fact that casting an unsigned int to a wider long does
not sign-extend. (This also makes checking for negative numbers
awkward.) Some of these casts result in harmless compiler warnings
on some systems. */
