* This allocator is my only work, that was evolved during years and years in * my head and in my different projects, and now... it's here. Headeronly, * easy to add in project and use, dependent only on the stdlib and * c89threads(optional), dynamic linear allocator lib :D # commenntary : now i know that this is similar with how unrolled linked list is working... # anyways, this may be not the perfect, but good enough implementation. Some uncompatability with C89 # may be optionally fixed too * To add this in your project, you may also need to create empty .c file with * this content : ``` * #define PLALLOC_IMPLEMENTATION * #include "plalloc.h" * ``` * Do this only once. You may also come with different approaches, like include * this text in exact same order directly to your main.c, or miniaudio.c... Does * not matter. * * This project activates all SANITY_CHECK() macro, if you define PLALLOC_DEBUG * above `#include "plalloc.h"` in your implementation file. This is useful for * debug builds of your program to catch bad things early and with conclusion * about where(in allocator) and why it's happened. Altrough, it will make this * allocator a bit slower. * Without PLALLOC_DEBUG, some assertions will still be checked, but they are rare, * and located at the end of all fun, when everything may be already very broken. * * "c89threads.h" is used by this allocator to make it threadsafe in multithreaded * enviroment. You can get rid of this dependency by defining PLALLOC_OMIT_THREADSAFETY * above `#include "plalloc.h"`. # commentary : yeah, no c89 support is guaranteed, but c89threads are used instead of pthreads or c11 threads :D # btw, this lib is very good in what it does, and it does it pretty crossplatformy. # anyway, this lib is OPTIONAL, and it's included by default OBLY for threadsafety, that may be easly disabled at compiletime * * And for extra crazy guys : * You can change default malloc() and free() functions, used by this * allocator, by redefining MEM_ALLOC(), MEM_FREE() and MEM_CHECK() * macros, inside source file with defined PLALLOC_IMPLEMENTATION, * above `#include "plalloc.h"`! * * Also, you can direcly edit this file and macros values for your own needs :) * Altrogh be careful, some values, like PAGE_SIZE_MIN and ITEMS_COUNT_DEFAULT * must not be setted to ultra crazy low, or ultra crazy high values, since allcator * code does not make checks for that.
