This small library is a wrapper around ptmalloc3 (the memory allocation library used in the version of glibc provided on Linux systems. It allows to perform malloc, realloc and free operations inside a predefined memory area already allocated by the system's malloc in order to provide a dynamic memory allocation system with variable block sizes.
You can build michelfralloc by running make in this directory.
Notice that this repository is part of the PQUIC project.
This repository can be updated with further versions of the ptmalloc3 library as described follow.
To build the library, first get ptmalloc3: http://www.malloc.de/malloc/ptmalloc3-current.tar.gz and put the ptmalloc3 directory of the archive
at the root of this directory.
Then run the following command with the directory containing this README file as your current working directory:
patch -p0 < ptmalloc.patch
