1 | Package: dbestfit - a dynamic memory allocator | ||
2 | Date: March 30, 2005 | ||
3 | Version: 3.3 | ||
4 | Author: Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se> | ||
5 | |||
6 | I wrote the dmalloc part for small allocation sizes to improve the behavior | ||
7 | of the built-in (first-fit) allocator found in pSOS (around 1996). | ||
8 | |||
9 | I wrote the bmalloc part (best-fit with splay-tree sorting) just for the fun | ||
10 | of it and to see how good malloc() clone I could make. The quality of my | ||
11 | implementation is still left to be judged in real-world tests. | ||
12 | |||
13 | TODO: | ||
14 | * Remove the final not-so-very-nice loop in dmalloc.c that checks for a block | ||
15 | with free fragments (when the list gets longer too much time might be spent | ||
16 | in that loop). | ||
17 | |||
18 | * Add semaphore protection in bmalloc. | ||
19 | |||
20 | * Make a separate application that samples the memory usage of a program | ||
21 | and is capable of replaying it (in order to test properly). | ||
