Galloc

Galloc is memory allocation and garbage collection project with user interface.

I want to experiance about arena memory allocation, stack usage and garbage collection techniques like Java's heaven, tracing, reference counting, escape analyse and manual collecting from strach.

This is pure c project and it only depends on Raylib (located on ./raylib-5.0) for creating graphics. You can choose the management strategy and write user stort in to the story.txt file (create scope, define variable, alloc memory, close scope, collect, etc. as like as programing lang) then its virtualize the story.

Galloc has hot-reload feature for development. All logics and drawing jobs in plugin.c file. main.c file only load libplugin.so file using dynamic library functions and create window.

This is experimental project, DO NOT USE in prod!

Setup Code

Install

Clone this project using GIT

git clone git@github.com:saracalihan/galloc

Go into directory

cd galloc

Now, you have to compile raylib. Please read raylib readme.

After the compile of reylib,

Compile all source code:

make

This command compile and link main executable and libplugin.

Run Code

Run main executable:

./main

Structure of Project

Development

If you have only made improvements related to memory management or drawing, run the following command while the main executable is running:

A new thread is created in the main.c file and this thread listens to all files under the src folder and runs the "make hotreload" command in case of any changes (save, update or delete) so that when you update the code, it is automatically compiled.

You can turn this feature off and on from the src/config.h file and determine which files will excluded in this feature.

Then press the r key in the user interface. When you press the r key, the current application data (memory, variables, etc.) is kept in the Plugin struct and libplugin.so is reopened and the values are restored.
