Hi.

According to:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-localalloc
"Note The local functions have greater overhead and provide fewer features
than other memory management functions. New applications should use the
heap functions unless documentation states that a local function should be
used. For more information, see Global and Local Functions."

LocalAlloc is deprecated.
So use HeapAlloc instead, once LocalAlloc is an overhead wrapper to
HeapAlloc.

Attached a patch.

regards,
Ranier Vilela
