 * \brief Wrappers required to use newlib malloc-family within FreeRTOS.
 *
 * \par Overview
 * Route FreeRTOS memory management functions to newlib's malloc family.
 * Thus newlib and FreeRTOS share memory-management routines and memory pool,
 * and all newlib's internal memory-management requirements are supported.
 *
 * \author Dave Nadler
 * \date 20-August-2019
 * \version  3-Jan-2023 Correct _malloc_r signature+call for malloc wrap
 * \version  3-Jan-2023 Function declarations and unused arguments for picky compiler
* \version 27-Jun-2020 Correct "FreeRTOS.h" capitalization, commentary
 * \version 24-Jun-2020 commentary only
 * \version 11-Sep-2019 malloc accounting, comments, newlib version check
