Does SymEngine have an internal malloc function

[Anutosh Bhat]

Hello all, 

I am implementing Symbolic Algorithms for LPython as a part of my GSoC project . Y'all can find the abstract of the project here  Program Project | Google Summer of Code

So I am working on a program which goes as follows 

@ccall(header="symengine/cwrapper.h")
def basic_new_stack(x: CPtr) -> None:
    pass

@ccall(header="symengine/cwrapper.h")
def basic_const_pi(x: CPtr) -> None:
    pass

@ccall(header="symengine/cwrapper.h")
def basic_str(x: CPtr) -> str:
    pass

@ccall
def _lfortran_malloc(size: i32) -> CPtr:
    pass

def main0():
    x: CPtr = _lfortran_malloc(i32(sizeof(i64)))
    basic_new_stack(x)
    basic_const_pi(x)
    s: str = basic_str(x)
    print(s)

main0()

Here I am using LFortran's malloc function but I am curious to know if there is an internal function available within the SymEngine library that handles the memory allocation internally. I went through SymEngine's documentation but didn't wasn't able to find anything. Any idea of what could be used would be great

Yes, it's called basic_new_heap, here is how to use it:
