[avr-libc-dev] [bug #19445] _malloc_heap_end does not follow _heap_end on m2561

[Joerg Wunsch]

Update of bug #19445 (project avr-libc):

                Category:                    None => Documentation          
              Item Group:                 Unknown => Documentation

Follow-up Comment #1:

As Dave Hylands already wrote on avr-libc-dev, __malloc_heap_end
is a variable that points to __heap_end, so you are only ever
supposed to handle __heap_end.  The __malloc_* variables are
what malloc() uses internally to keep track of the allocations
and boundaries.

This is basically also the way the documentation tells you,
but in retrospect, I agree the picture is a little misleading
here, and could express that clearer.
