This repository provides a custom implementation of a heap memory manager in C. It offers functions for common memory management operations: malloc(size): Allocates a block of memory of the specified size on the heap. free(ptr): Deallocates a previously allocated memory block pointed to by ptr. calloc(nmemb, size): Allocates memory for an array of nmemb elements of size size and initializes all elements to zero. realloc(ptr, size): Resizes a previously allocated memory block pointed to by ptr to the new size size.

Efficient Memory Management: Utilizes a doubly linked list to track free memory blocks, enabling efficient allocation and deallocation. Reduced Fragmentation: Implements strategies like splitting large free blocks to minimize external fragmentation and improve memory utilization. Automatic SBRK Calls: Expands the program break with a large block when necessary to allocate memory for requests that exceed the available free space.

Prerequisites: Ensure you have a C compiler (e.g., GCC) installed on your system. Makefile (Optional): navigate to the project directory in your terminal and run: make: Builds the library.

Include the header file (hmm.h) in your source code and it provided functions like standard C library functions (malloc, free, calloc, realloc). Refer to the function documentation (man pages or comments within the code) for detailed usage information and parameter descriptions.

Error Handling: Consider incorporating error handling mechanisms to gracefully handle potential issues during memory allocation and deallocation.

Implement some test scripts and other testing strategies to ensure the correctness and robustness of my memory manager code and finally i replaced the glibc allocator with our custom solution. The results were truly impressive, bash run with my heap memory manager 💪🏻🥳
