Custom Memory Management

This project implements a custom memory management system in C, designed to improve memory allocation, deallocation, and tracking for enhanced performance and debugging capabilities.

Features

• Custom Memory Management: Provides a custom memory allocator that works similar to small bin condition in the malloc logic
• Bitmap-based Tracking: Utilizes a bitmap to efficiently manage memory blocks.
• Logging and Debugging: Outputs memory usage details to outputfile.txt for debugging purposes.
• Test Suite: Includes test cases to validate functionality and performance.

File Descriptions

• bitmap.c: Contains functions for managing memory allocation and deallocation using a bitmap data structure.
• memory_manager.c: Implements the core functionality of the custom memory allocator
• interposition.h: Facilitates overriding standard memory allocation functions using linker or runtime interposition techniques.
• test_main.c: Includes test cases to validate the functionality of the memory manager.
• testing.c: Provides additional tests and utilities for stress-testing the memory manager.

Usage

1. Build the project using the provided Makefile:
