Fast memory allocators with low overhead

Alloha 🌺

This project contains the implementation of classic memory allocators from scratch, written in C.

Building

The build system is based on CMake. You can use any of the major three compilers: Clang, GCC, or MSVC. For instance, if you want to compile with Clang and use Ninja as your generator, you can run

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -G=Ninja

Now you can simply build the project with:

cmake --build build

Tests

Now that you've compiled and built the project, you can run the tests using CTest via

ctest --test-dir build
