The RTEMS "core" OS itself does not call malloc.  The
C library, filesystems and other supporting layers do.

There is no easy way to predict since it is application
dependent.  If you tend to create everything at
init time and avoid stdio, then getting the free info
on the C program heap should tell you what you
need to know.

I know that's now much of an answer but it is
what it is.
