  // Control operations for getting and setting malloc implementation

  // generic
  // -------
  // "generic.current_allocated_bytes"
  //      Number of bytes currently allocated by application
  //      This property is not writable.
  //
  // "generic.heap_size"
  //      Number of bytes in the heap ==
  //            current_allocated_bytes +
  //            fragmentation +
  //            freed memory regions
  //      This property is not writable.
  //
  // tcmalloc
  // --------
  // "tcmalloc.max_total_thread_cache_bytes"
  //      Upper limit on total number of bytes stored across all
  //      per-thread caches.  Default: 16MB.
  //
  // "tcmalloc.current_total_thread_cache_bytes"
  //      Number of bytes used across all thread caches.
  //      This property is not writable.
  //
  // "tcmalloc.pageheap_free_bytes"
  //      Number of bytes in free, mapped pages in page heap.  These
  //      bytes can be used to fulfill allocation requests.  They
  //      always count towards virtual memory usage, and unless the
  //      underlying memory is swapped out by the OS, they also count
  //      towards physical memory usage.  This property is not writable.
  //
  // "tcmalloc.pageheap_unmapped_bytes"
  //      Number of bytes in free, unmapped pages in page heap.
  //      These are bytes that have been released back to the OS,
  //      possibly by one of the MallocExtension "Release" calls.
  //      They can be used to fulfill allocation requests, but
  //      typically incur a page fault.  They always count towards
  //      virtual memory usage, and depending on the OS, typically
  //      do not count towards physical memory usage.  This property
  //      is not writable.
  //
  //  "tcmalloc.per_cpu_caches_active"
  //      Whether tcmalloc is using per-CPU caches (1 or 0 respectively).
  //      This property is not writable.
  // -------------------------------------------------------------------
