Bugs Fixed
Bug fix release after the big 5.0.0 last week. Couple of bug
fixes and improvements.
- Added dmalloc_page_size() function which returns the internal
library page/block size.
- Compressed the per-pointer admin structure by 8 bytes.
None.
None.
None.
- Reduced the per-pointer administrative overhead by 8 bytes down
to ~32 bytes on an i386.
- Added a number of auto-testing sections to dmalloc_t. Still need
to flesh this out to be more inclusive of library features.
- Added testing of the free-list during heap-check.
None.
- Found a [bad] problem where the library was not putting pointers
back on the free list properly. Ugh.
