Thanks a lot!
I have reworked a bit the module used for the tests of the new
extended routine (with new tests for Alloc, AllocZero and AllocHuge as
well) and pushed it here:
https://github.com/michaelpq/pg_plugins/tree/master/mcxtalloc_test
This is just to mention it for the sake of the archives, I cannot
really believe that it should be an in-core module in src/test/modules
as it does allocations of 1GB in environments where there is enough
memory. Note that it contains regression tests with alternate outputs
depending on the environment where they are run (still output may not
be stable depending on where those tests are run, particularly where
memory usage varies a lot).
