Custom-Memory-Allocator

Overview

This is a simple custom memory allocator implemented in C. It provides functions similar to malloc and free for dynamic memory allocation and deallocation.

How to Use

1. Include the malloc_imp.h header file in your C code.
2. Call malloc_imp(size_t size) to allocate memory dynamically. This function returns a pointer to the allocated memory block.
3. Call free_imp(void *ptr) to deallocate memory previously allocated with malloc_imp. Make sure to pass the pointer returned by malloc_imp.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "malloc_imp.h"

int main() {
  // Allocate memory
  char *str = (char *)malloc_imp(10);
  if (str == NULL) {
      printf("Memory allocation failed\n");
      return 1;
  }

  strcpy(str, "Hello");
  printf("%s\n", str);
  
  // Deallocate memory
  free_imp(str);
  
  return 0;
}

Build:

gcc -o allocator main.c malloc_imp.c

To-Do

• Implement calloc and realloc later in future maybe.
