spalloc

Toy allocator written in Zig, inspired by Sys.Pro C programming language course task.

Features

• No chunk headers
• Using additional memory only when chunks get allocated
• Special treatment of different types of chunks for better performance

Usage

spalloc.h provides spmalloc, spcalloc, sprealloc and spfree functions. These functions have the same API as the standard C malloc, calloc, realloc and free.

Building

Just use zig build with standard optimization options. By default it builds a static library. To build the shared version, pass -Dshared option.
