simple_malloc

Lets write a simple malloc

Usage:

clang malloc.c && ./a.out

Things to do

• Benchmark (space and time)
• Slab allocation / small object table
• Compress header
• Freelist (performance)
• Use out how to use as the real malloc for a program
  • Needs: malloc, calloc, free, realloc
  • LD_PRELOAD
• Tech to C++
• Return memory to the OS
• refactor free functions to be object oriented (e.g. node_set_next_free)
