Btw. you can assist me and you understanding the code by adding type 
signatures to the createFunction calls. You may even make them top-level 
functions.

What I see is, that alloc2 returns a pointer to a number, that is, sum1' 
must be a pointer to a number. Then you try to 'call' this pointer like a 
function:

69      sum1' <- alloc2 sum1 nullptr

71      sum2' <- call' sum1' x
