2002-07-31(MALLOC_HEADER_SIZE): New macro.Miles Bader
(MALLOC_BASE, MALLOC_ADDR): Use it.
2002-07-30Define MALLOC_SET_SIZE to take the user-address rather than the base-address.Miles Bader
2002-07-30Add macros to abstract the malloc header format a bit.Miles Bader
2002-07-25Redo the locking, so that it may actually work. Now locking is done atMiles Bader
the malloc/free level, not within the heap abstraction, and there's a separate lock to control sbrk access. Also, get rid of the separate `unmap_free_area' function in free.c, and just put the code in the `free' function directly, which saves a bunch of space (even compared to using an inline function) for some reason.
2002-07-23* Automatically try to unmap heap free-areas when they get very big.Miles Bader
* Instead of using mmap/munmap directly for large allocations, just use the heap for everything (this is reasonable now that heap memory can be unmapped). * Use sbrk instead of mmap/munmap on systems with an MMU.
2002-07-19Doc fix.Miles Bader
2002-07-18Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is muchEric Andersen
smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike the old "malloc". So kill the old "malloc-simple" and the old "malloc" and replace them with Miles' new malloc implementation. Update Config files to match. Thanks Miles!
