The implementation of actor heap chunk recycling from #4531 had two bugs. First, the large heap re-use logic (which was temporarily disabled in #4534) had a bug related to how it updated the large chunk recyclable list pointer in the heap. Second, the memory clearing logic in the
ponyint_heap_endgc
function was clearing more of the heap than it should have been resulting in a memory leak for both small and large chunk recyclable chunks.This commit re-enabled large chunk recycling (undoing #4534) and fixes both bugs so that both large chunk and small chunk recycling work as expected without memory leaks.
