Memory manager in C

Library providing basic memory management by implementing:

• posix_memalign
• malloc
• calloc
• realloc
• free

Look into malloc(3), posix_memalign(3) for more details

Compile to shared libmalloc.so library

make

Use instead of malloc(3)

export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libmalloc.so

Exemplary working UNIX programs under this implementation:

• cat, tail,ls, mkdir, rmdir, cp, pwd, touch, echo

Testing

make run_tests
