2011-04-01avoid over-allocation of brk on first mallocRich Felker-4/+4
if init_malloc returns positive (successful first init), malloc will retry getting a chunk from the free bins rather than expanding the heap again. also pass init_malloc a hint for the size of the initial allocation.

2011-02-20make malloc(0) return unique pointers rather than NULLRich Felker-5/+9
this change is made with some reluctance, but i think it's for the best. correct programs must handle either behavior, so there is little advantage to having malloc(0) return NULL. and i managed to actually make the malloc code slightly smaller with this change.
