The -quality of my implementation is still left to be judged in real-world tests. - -TODO: - * Remove the final not-so-very-nice loop in dmalloc.c that checks for a block - with free fragments (when the list gets longer too much time might be spent - in that loop). - - * Make a separate application that samples the memory usage of a program - and is capable of replaying it (in order to test properly). |
