30    mmalloca() and freea() in the other case are not critical, because they
31    are only invoked for big memory sizes.
32    Here we use a bit in the address as an indicator, an idea by Ondřej Bílka.
33    malloca() can return three types of pointers:
34      - Pointers ≡ 0 mod 2*sa_alignment_max come from stack allocation.
35      - Pointers ≡ sa_alignment_max mod 2*sa_alignment_max come from heap
36        allocation.
