1 | Package: dbestfit - a dynamic best-fit memory allocator | ||
2 | Date: 1996 - 2002 | ||
3 | Version: 3.3 | ||

7 | I wrote the dmalloc part for small allocation sizes to improve the behavior | ||
8 | of the built-in (first-fit) allocator found in pSOS, during late 1996 and | ||
9 | spring 1997. | ||
10 | |||
11 | I wrote the bmalloc part (best-fit with optional splay-tree sorting) just for | ||
12 | the fun of it and to see how good malloc() implementation I could make. The | ||
13 | quality of my implementation is still left to be judged in real-world tests. | ||
14 | |||
15 | TODO: | ||
16 | * Remove the final not-so-very-nice loop in dmalloc.c that checks for a block | ||
17 | with free fragments (when the list gets longer too much time might be spent | ||
18 | in that loop). | ||
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). | ||
