/* This function serves as the default memory allocation function and accepts four arguments:
 *
 * - `mrb`: An instance of `mrb_state`. It's important to note that for the initial allocation (used to allocate the `mrb_state` itself), `mrb` is set to NULL.
 * - `p`: The previous pointer to the memory region. For memory allocation, this parameter is NULL.
 * - `size`: The new size of the memory region to be returned.
 * - `ud`: User data, represented as a `void*`, which is passed to the `mrb_state`.
