A lightweight library to efficiently allocate memory in multithreaded applications.
Clone this repository (git clone git@github.com:jeudine/mtalloc.git) or add it to your project as a submodule (git submodule add git@github.com:jeudine/mtalloc.git). You can then run make to create mtalloc.a. Simply include src/mtalloc.h to your source code and link mtalloc.a.
Before creating your threads, you need to initialize an mtm variable using mtm_init(). This variable can then be safely used in all your threads to allocate memory. Don't forget to destroy it at the end using mtm_destroy().
A comparison between the standard malloc and mtalloc is implemented in test\. You can use make to build the program and then run it with the desired number of threads.
