Malloc is a custom memory allocator project created as part of the 42 coding school curriculum. This project implements a basic memory allocator with functionalities similar to malloc and free in C. It is designed to manage memory allocation and deallocation while maintaining efficient memory usage.
The 42 Malloc project involves implementing a custom memory management system in C. The main goal is to gain a deep understanding of how memory allocation works at a low level and to be able to manage memory manually. This project helps in learning about memory fragmentation, allocation strategies, and performance optimization.
- Custom Allocation: Implements
malloc,free, andreallocfunctions. - Memory Management: Handles memory allocation requests and deallocations.
- Performance: Designed to minimize fragmentation and optimize memory usage.
- Debugging: Provides features for memory usage tracking and debugging.
