10 * malloc.c (Caltech) 2/21/82
11 * Chris Kingsley, kingsley@cit-20.
13 * This is a very fast storage allocator. It allocates blocks of a small
14 * number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size. Blocks that
15 * don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size. In this
16 * implementation, the available sizes are 2^n-4 (or 2^n-12) bytes long.
17 * This is designed for use in a program that uses vast quantities of memory,
18 * but bombs when it runs out.

26 #define u_char unsigned char
27 #define u_int unsigned int
28 #define u_short unsigned short
31 * The overhead on a block is at least 4 bytes. When free, this space
32 * contains a pointer to the next free block, and the bottom two bits must
33 * be zero. When in use, the first byte is set to MAGIC, and the second
34 * byte is the size index. The remaining bytes are for alignment.
35 * If range checking is enabled and the size of the block fits
36 * in two bytes, then the top two bytes hold the size of the requested block
37 * plus the range checking words, and the header word MINUS ONE.
