Provides an implementation of the malloc and free functions. This implementation allows you to create a block on the heap and free it from memory, whilst ensuring the blocks are aligned correctly for the x86 architecture requirements.
Make sure that you are on a linux machine that is capable of using the sbrk() system call. Ensure that the correct padding for your machine is set by changing the ALIGNMENT and PAGE_SIZE constants. Then compile using a standard c compiler e.g:
gcc memory-management.c -o memory-management
