This is a complete set of memory allocation functions (malloc and
|
|
friends) from the Computer Systems Research Institute at U of Toronto.
|
|
|
|
The allocator is small, fast and space-efficient.
|
|
|
|
It performs coalescing on frees.
|
|
|
|
It has hooks for profiling, tracing and memory leak detection.
|
|
|
|
It has very comprehensive and paranoid errorchecking as a compile
|
|
time option, enough to detect most forms of heap corruption.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, it attempts to be compatible with the proposed ANSI C
|
|
Standard definition for the standard library functions malloc(),
|
|
calloc(), realloc() and free(). By default, it is more or less
|
|
compatible with existing Unix malloc() functions - some
|
|
differences do exist. (Notably free(), cfree() returning void,
|
|
realloc() not accepting a freed block)
