The comment is false, that's why you thought it was *mem_ptr = 1;

But as mentionned later, *(aligned pointer -1) stores the offset to the
real malloc block. In the case of no alignment, *(aligned pointer - 1)
is the malloc block so the offset to malloc block is zero.

That's why it is *mem_ptr = 0;

I'll change the comment as it is not clear at all.
