Let's Write a Malloc

1. tlsf

   1 2 1,227 0.0 C

   Two-Level Segregated Fit memory allocator implementation.

   

   I've had to find a malloc simple enough to port to another language recently and this one was really well written with good features and research papers behind it: https://github.com/mattconte/tlsf

3. mark-sweep

   2 13 736 10.0 C

   A simple mark-sweep garbage collector in C

   

   Never forget:

   > Let me stress here that while this collector is simple, it isn’t a toy.

   > There are a ton of optimizations you can build on top of this—in GCs and programming languages, optimization is 90% of the effort—but the core code here is a legitimate real GC.

   > It’s very similar to the collectors that were in Ruby and Lua until recently.

   > You can ship production code that uses something exactly like this.

   > Now go build something awesome!

4. malloc

   3 1 7 10.0 C
