Vavuma
A memory allocator

README

Vavuma provides an alternative way to allocate dynamic memory. It is designed
to be:
  * very fast with O(1) allocations and frees;
  * very efficient in its memory use, using no more memory than Linux ptmalloc;
  * very small at approximately 400 lines of C code. That's an order of
    magnitude smaller than the alternatives;
  * very smart in minimizing fragmentation.

The library can be used directly in new projects by calling the vavuma_
functions declared in vavuma.h, or may be used to override the built-in
malloc/calloc/realloc/free functions at runtime for existing programs.

For example, in Linux you may use vavuma to override the built-in malloc
functions using this command:
  env LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libvavuma.so <program>

Feedback is welcome. Happy allocating.
