The Perl malloc come from Caltech (see below) but I don't remember if the BSD malloc is based on Perl's version or directly from Caltech's. /* * malloc.c (Caltech) 2/21/82 * Chris Kingsley, kingsley@cit-20. * * 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 2^n-12) bytes long. * This is designed for use in a program that uses vast quantities of memory, * but bombs when it runs out. */ -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #6: Mon Mar 11 20:18:10 MET 1996
