Allocator

An implementation of a simple memory allocator, and some discussion.

sample run of the test program

Building

You'll need some tools:

  • noweb to extract the source code
  • Graphviz to see trees in the documentation
  • LaTeX for PDF output
  • and some kind of C compiler and a make program

Ideally: just run make. As output, you'll find allocator.html and allocator.pdf, the written discussion in two formats. You will also find the extracted C source code, various object files, and a program called test. The latter was used to generate the image in this document.
