Description

According to the docs MAXIMUM_MEMORY=-1 means "no specified limit". In that case I think each browser should allow growth as much as it possibly can. However I"m getting this error when I specify it: emcc: error: invalid byte size `-1`. Valid suffixes are: kb, mb, gb, tb

I'm running emscripten 2.0.5

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the validation of MAXIMUM MEMORY in the emcc tool to allow the value 1 as indicating no memory limit, and ensure the error message is not thrown for 1.
