The memory that was allocated outside of the `smalloc.cc` should not be tracked using `AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory`. There are no potential issues except triggering V8's GC way too often. In fact, `heap.js` is creating a buffer out of the pointer, and since it doesn't know the size of the pointer - it just creates the maximum possible `Buffer` instance with a no-op free callback and no hint.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's arguably better to call Isolate::AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory() only once. As is, the code may potentially trigger a GC twice.
