// A virtual memory address.
typedef void* SbPageVirtualMemory;

// Internal Virtual memory API
//
// This was designed to provide common wrappers around OS functions relied upon
// by dlmalloc. However the APIs can also be used for other custom allocators,
// but, due to platform restrictions, this is not completely generic.
//
// When dlmalloc requires memory from the system, it uses two different
// approaches to get it. It either extends a growing heap, or it uses mmap() to
// request a bunch of pages from the system.
//
// Its default behavior is to place small allocations into a contiguous heap,
// and allocate large (256K+) blocks with mmap. Separating large blocks from the
// main heap has advantages for reducing fragmentation.
//
// In dlmalloc, extending the heap is called "MORECORE" and, by default on POSIX
// systems, uses sbrk().
//
// Since almost none of our platforms support sbrk(), we implement MORECORE by
// reserving a large virtual region and giving that to dlmalloc. This region
// starts off unmapped, i.e. there are no physical pages backing it, so reading
// or writing from that region is invalid.  As dlmalloc requests memory, we
// allocate physical pages from the OS and map them to the top of the heap,
// thereby growing the usable heap area. When the heap shrinks, we can unmap
// those pages and free them back to the OS.
//
// mmap(), by contrast, allocates N pages from the OS, and the OS then maps them
// into some arbitrary virtual address space. There is no guarantee that two
// consecutive mmap() calls will return a contiguous block.
//
// SbMap() is our implementation of mmap(). On platforms such as Linux that
// actually have mmap(), we call that directly. Otherwise we use
// platform-specific system allocators.
//
// Platforms that have OS support for the virtual region ("MORECORE") behavior
// will enable SB_HAS_VIRTUAL_REGIONS in configuration_public.h.
//
// Platforms that support SbMap() must be at least starboard version 12 or
// enable SB_HAS_MMAP in their configuration_public.h file. dlmalloc is very
// flexible and if a platform can't implement virtual regions, it will use
// Map() for all allocations, merging adjacent allocations when it can.
//
// If a platform can't use Map(), it will just use MORECORE for everything.
// Currently we believe a mixture of both provides best behavior, but more
// testing would be useful.
//
// See also dlmalloc_config.h which controls some dlmalloc behavior.
