Allocated Storage Size

Hans;

Statement: In a HLL that allows direct allocation of storage
(%alloc/malloc....) the basing pointer value, the size of storage allocated
and other(?) information about the allocation is stored in a system "table".

Question: If this is true why is there not a function that, given a pointer
it returns the size of the allocation and any other information about the
allocation?
