Fiddle::Pointer.malloc(size, freefunc = nil)  => fiddle pointer instance

Allocate size bytes of memory and associate it with an optional freefunc that will be called when the pointer is garbage collected.

freefunc must be an address pointing to a function or an instance of Fiddle::Function

Fiddle::Pointer.new(address) => fiddle_cptr
