You have likely used an MRE application without knowing it. Here are the top use cases:
Unlike desktop OSes, MRE has a strict heap limit. Use vm_malloc and vm_free carefully. A memory leak of just 100 bytes can crash the device after 48 hours of uptime.

int mre_get_screen_width(void) return screen_w; int mre_get_screen_height(void) return screen_h;
