This is an experiment. I set out to learn more about how memory management is accomplished on Linux systems. Specifically, I wanted to do it in C. I aim to mimic the bare-bones functionality of GLIBC's malloc.
Again, this is a learning experience -- and as of now this code shouldn't really be used or relied on.
valgrind shows no errors at this point (with what's done in main.c)
Please refer to the information in my-malloc.h.
The comments in that file are where a new user should look if he/she intends to use this code. Disclaimer: as I am not a "pro" and this code is not technically "production," it is not recommended that this code is used in place of GLibC's malloc().
Anyone is free to use this code, but I am not liable for any of its shortcomings. See the LICENSE for more information regarding usage and rights.
