MyAlloc

Illustration of memory allocation / deallocation mechanisms inspired by the malloc() / free() functions of the standard unix library.

The memory allocation algorithm is based on the First Fit method [1].

Running

Make sure the gtk library is installed before running the gui. You can install gtk with :

#Or only the modules you want

make demo test gui

Then you can choose to run 1 of 3 programs : demo, test or gui

./demo

./test

./gui
