void *duk_alloc_raw(duk_context *ctx, size_t size);

=summary
<p>Allocate <tt>size</tt> bytes using the raw allocation function registered
to the context.  If allocation fails, returns <tt>NULL</tt>.  If <tt>size</tt>
is zero, the call may either return a <tt>NULL</tt> or some non-<tt>NULL</tt>
value which may be safely given to e.g. <tt>duk_free_raw()</tt>.  The allocation
cannot trigger a garbage collection, and the allocated memory is not automatically
garbage collected.</p>

<p>Memory allocated with <tt>duk_alloc_raw()</tt> can be freed with either
<tt><a href="#duk_free">duk_free()</a></tt> or
<tt><a href="#duk_free_raw">duk_free_raw()</a></tt>.</p>

=example
void *buf = duk_alloc_raw(ctx, 1024);
if (buf) {
    printf("allocation successful: %p\n", buf);
} else {
    printf("allocation failed\n");
}

Zero allocated memory automatically?
