Short: Improvements to smalloc Date: 2001-01-15 From: Lars Type: Feature State: Done - implemented in 3.2.9-dev.254 When looking for n-Byte small Blocks,consider splitting a free >n-Byte Block. During a GC, coalesce adjacent free small blocks. This would require rebuilding all freelists, which could be done simply by scanning for GC_FREE small blocks. When coalescing small blocks, maybe allow 'odd' sizes. These could be held in a separate free list, and used in a 'splitting' maneuver if the appropriate free list is exhausted.
