Sets the allocation function to use (the prototype and semantics are -identical to the realloc C function). It is used to allocate and free -memory (no surprises here).

You could override this function in high-availability programs to, say, free some memory if it cannot allocate memory, to use a special allocator, or even to sleep a while and retry until some memory is available.
