Allocate new memory on the heap

Getmem reserves Size bytes memory on the heap, and returns a pointer to this memory in p. What happens if no more memory is available, depends on the value of the variable ReturnNilIfGrowHeapfails: if the variable is True then Nil is returned. If the variable is False, a run-time error is generated. The default value is False, so by default an error is generated.
The newly allocated memory is not initialized in any way, and may contain garbage data. It must be cleared with a call to FillChar or FillWord.
For an example, see Freemem.
