mtrebi/memory-allocators ★ 1992 173 APPLICATION

This repository provides a set of custom memory allocator implementations in C++ (Linear, Stack, Pool, FreeList, and a wrapper for malloc). The allocators are designed for educational purposes, demonstrating how to replace general-purpose malloc with more efficient, specialized allocators. The code is structured around a common base class (`Allocator`) and uses generic linked list data structures (singly and doubly linked, plus a stack-based linked list) to manage free memory blocks. A benchmarking framework (`Benchmark`) measures allocation/free throughput and memory usage. The project is a library/example, not a production service, and is intended to illustrate trade-offs between allocator types. The implementation is clean and well-organized, but lacks tests and modern C++ features, and has not been actively maintained.
