Custom Memory Manager in C

This project demonstrates how dynamic memory allocation works internally by implementing a custom memory management system in C.

Features

• Fixed-size memory pool
• Custom implementation of malloc and free
• Block splitting and merging (coalescing)
• Linked list–based memory tracking

Technologies Used

• C Language
• GCC Compiler

How to Run

gcc src/*.c -Iinclude -o memory ./memory

Learning Outcome

• Understanding heap memory
• Internal working of malloc and free
• Memory fragmentation handling

Future Improvements

• Best-fit allocation
• realloc implementation
• Thread-safe memory management
