* @(#)nmalloc.c 1 (Caltech) 2/21/82
*
* U of M Modified: 20 Jun 1983 ACT: strange hacks for Emacs
*
* Nov 1983, Mike@BRL, Added support for 4.1C/4.2 BSD.
*
* This is a very fast storage allocator. It allocates blocks of a small
* number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size. Blocks
* that don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size. In this
* implementation, the available sizes are (2^n)-4 (or -16) bytes long.
* This is designed for use in a program that uses vast quantities of
* memory, but bombs when it runs out. To make it a little better, it
* warns the user when he starts to get near the end.
*
* June 84, ACT: modified rcheck code to check the range given to malloc,
* rather than the range determined by the 2-power used.
*
* Jan 85, RMS: calls malloc_warning to issue warning on nearly full.
* No longer Emacs-specific; can serve as all-purpose malloc for GNU.
* You should call malloc_init to reinitialize after loading dumped Emacs.
* Call malloc_stats to get info on memory stats if MSTATS turned on.
* realloc knows how to return same block given, just changing its size,
* if the power of 2 is correct.
*/

/*
* nextf[i] is the pointer to the next free block of size 2^(i+3). The
* smallest allocatable block is 8 bytes. The overhead information will
* go in the first int of the block, and the returned pointer will point
* to the second.

* nmalloc[i] is the difference between the number of mallocs and frees

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
