It depends on what you mean by "raw amount of memory". There's
1. Memory requested from the system via `brk()`.
2. Memory managed via the language's allocator (e..g. new/malloc/etc).
If I do
char* x = new[1000000];
delete x;
x = new[1000];
The process will (probably!) still be holding onto that 1000000 bytes because the first `new` will have requested that RAM from the system and not released it.
