memory-allocator

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of managing dynamic memory allocation and deallocation efficiently within language runtimes, optimizing performance and resource utilization.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Block Allocation: Efficiently allocate fixed-size blocks of memory.
• Heap Management: Organize and manage available free memory.
• Allocation Strategies: Implements various strategies like first-fit, best-fit, and segregated fit.
• Fragmentation Control: Minimizes both internal and external memory fragmentation.
• Deallocation: Handles memory freeing and coalescing of adjacent free blocks.
• Use Case: Implementing custom memory allocators for high-performance language runtimes or optimizing memory usage in embedded systems.

Quick Start

Implement a memory allocator using a first-fit strategy for a C runtime.
