Mainly, int is a primitive, not a Cclass, so you cannot new it. You can look for a Class Integer or the like, or write a class holding an int, or call malloc(), calloc() or realloc() using an extern "C" around the include files. Or you can just declare a not automatic int: global, file static or subroutine static, and pass the pointer &integer_name into your variable.
An extern "C" {} block is just for linkage information -- prototypes, like #includes, not for actual execution. It says to link the names without mangling for argument and return type checking. C++ was originally just a C preprocess, so the mangling achieved the type checking.
Conversely, if you are trying to call C++ libs in a C main or other code, the C main or other code would have extern "C++" {} blocks for the prototypes of the lib, usually in a #include for that lib.

mallinfo

Name
malloc, free, realloc, calloc, mallopt, mallinfo - fast main memory allocator
Syntax

void free (ptr)
char *ptr;
char *realloc (ptr, size)
char *ptr;
unsigned size;
char *calloc (nelem, elsize)
unsigned nelem, elsize;

int cmd, value;
struct mallinfo mallinfo (max)
int max;
Description
The and subroutines provide a simple general-purpose memory allocation package, which runs considerably faster than the package. It is
found in the library and is loaded if the option is used with or
The subroutine returns a pointer to a block of at least size bytes suitably aligned for any use.
The argument to is a pointer to a block previously allocated by After is performed, this space is made available for further allocation,
and its contents have been destroyed. See below for a way to change this behavior.
Undefined results will occur if the space assigned by is overrun or if some random number is handed to
The subroutine changes the size of the block pointed to by ptr to size bytes and returns a pointer to the (possibly moved) block. The con-
tents will be unchanged up to the lesser of the new and old sizes.
The subroutine allocates space for an array of nelem elements of size elsize. The space is initialized to zeros.
The subroutine provides for control over the allocation algorithm. The available values for cmd are:
M_MXFAST Set maxfast to value . The algorithm allocates all blocks below the size of maxfast in large groups and then doles them out very
quickly. The default value for maxfast is 0.
M_NLBLKS Set numlblks to value . The above mentioned large groups each contain numlblks blocks. The numlblks must be greater than 0. The
default value for numlblks is 100.
M_GRAIN Set grain to value . The sizes of all blocks smaller than maxfast are considered to be rounded up to the nearest multiple of
grain . The grain must be greater than 0. The default value of grain is the smallest number of bytes which will allow alignment
of any data type. Value will be rounded up to a multiple of the default when grain is set.
M_KEEP Preserve data in a freed block until the next or This option is provided only for compatibility with the old version of and is not
recommended.
These values are defined in the malloc.h header file.
The subroutine may be called repeatedly, but may not be called after the first small block is allocated.
The subroutine provides information describing space usage. It returns the following structure:
struct mallinfo {
int arena; /* total space in arena */
int ordblks; /* number of ordinary blocks */
int smblks; /* number of small blocks */
int hblkhd; /* space in holding block headers */
int hblks; /* number of holding blocks */
int usmblks; /* space in small blocks in use */
int fsmblks; /* space in free small blocks */
int uordblks; /* space in ordinary blocks in use */
int fordblks; /* space in free ordinary blocks */
int keepcost; /* space penalty if keep option */
/* is used */
}
This structure is defined in the malloc.h header file.
Each of the allocation routines returns a pointer to space suitably aligned (after possible pointer coercion) for storage of any type of
object.
Restrictions
This package usually uses more data space than
The code size is also bigger than
Note that unlike this package does not preserve the contents of a block when it is freed, unless the M_KEEP option of is used.
Undocumented features of have not been duplicated.
Return Values
The and subroutines return a NULL pointer if there is not enough available memory. When returns NULL, the block pointed to by ptr is left
intact. If is called after any allocation or if cmd or value are invalid, nonzero is returned. Otherwise, it returns zero.
