public class Memory extends Pointer implements Closeable
A `Pointer` to memory obtained from the native heap via a call to `malloc`.

In some cases it might be necessary to use memory obtained from `malloc`. For example, `Memory` helps accomplish the following idiom:

            void *buf = malloc(BUF_LEN * sizeof(char));
            call_some_function(buf);
            free(buf);
