:mrdocs:

Reduce the amount of memory allocated at the specified `address` from the specified `originalNumBytes` to the specified `newNumBytes`. Return the amount of memory available at `address` after the truncation. The behavior is undefined unless the call to this allocator that provided the `address` was performed with the `originalNumBytes` and `newNumBytes <= originalNumBytes`. Note that this function will not truncate the memory unless there have been no allocations since the allocation for `originalNumBytes`.
