Readme for Octeon shared memory malloc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This malloc is based on ptmalloc2, which is the malloc
|
||
|
|
implementation of glibc. Source code and more information
|
||
|
|
on this can be found at http://www.malloc.de/en/index.html.

|

|
|
The main change to the code modifies the way the malloc
|
||
|
|
gets memory from the system. Under Linux/Unix, malloc
|
||
|
|
uses the brk or memmap sytem calls to request more memory.
|
||
|
|
In this implementation, memory regions must be explicitly
|
||
|
|
given to malloc by the application.
