Description
Hi!
I'm making a project based on FreeRTOS in STM32CubeIDE.
Build Analyzer shows two memory regions named ucHeap in RAM. I believe these two objects come from the custom_memory_manager.c and FreeRTOS's heap4.c. Is it normal these two objects coexist? Why are their sizes defined in FreeRTOS config? Why do they have the same name?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by comparing custom_memory_manager.c with FreeRTOS's heap4.c and reviewing the FreeRTOS configuration referenced by the Build Analyzer output. Document whether the two ucHeap objects are expected to coexist, why their sizes come from the configuration, and why they share a name.
