i am become POSIX

well, sorta.
gone are the stdin inputs of old- now you allocate memory using command-line arguments!
use allocatememory -h for a list of valid parameters.

enjoy! 💕

allocate what u like

this super epic mega update allows you to choose whichever denomination of memory you prefer to allocate!

for example, you can enter 1024m or 1g respectively for identical results. inputs without a suffix will default to exact bytes. the app will still helpfully provide a truncated value for easy reading.

enjoy! 💕

your memory WILL be consumed.

turns out windows (and perhaps other systems, but most certainly windows) truncates allocated memory if the assigned bytes are not fully utilised (i.e. assigning 2 to an 8-byte unsigned long long int could probably be truncated to a 1-byte char for optimisation). this results in a big rise in memory usage in task manager, followed by a prompt drop in the graph once allocation is complete. this defeats the purpose of a funny app made to use memory graphs go to the moon 🚀🚀🚀, so we instead fill all allocated bytes with the unsigned 64-bit integer limit.

your memory WILL be consumed.

literal 8x performance increase what

turns out using all 64 bits of your cpu instead of just 8 bits at a time is very good for efficiency!
you can now allocate memory 8x faster by using long long ints instead of chars!
