I share link coz I saw a few videos by Andrey and Walter where 
they talks about memory allocations
and there is talk about decoupling from C-runtime
and "the core library is less than 3500 LOC, much smaller than 
the core of other industrial strength allocators like 
tcmalloc(~20k LOC) and jemalloc(~25k LOC)." from 
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2019/06/mimalloc-tr-v1.pdf
so probably such implemetnation can be useful: less code = easy 
support
