Source code and more information +on this can be found at http://www.malloc.de/en/index.html. +Please see the individual files for licensing terms. + +The main change to the code modifies the way the malloc +gets memory from the system. Under Linux/Unix, malloc +uses the brk or memmap sytem calls to request more memory. +In this implementation, memory regions must be explicitly +given to malloc by the application. |
