+ * By enabling the \p CH_USE_MALLOC_HEAP option the heap manager will use the
+ * runtime-provided \p malloc() and \p free() as backend for the heap APIs
+ * instead of the system provided allocator.<br>
+ * In order to use the heap APIs the \p CH_USE_HEAP option must be specified
+ * in \p chconf.h.
