Tralloc (tree alloc) is a hierarchical memory allocator with extensions. It is an alternative implementation of simplified talloc api.

The main goal of the project is to minimize memory overhead. Size of chunk is 32-88 bytes on x86_64 system (depends on compiled and runtime features). Debug features will increase size of each chunk by 16 bytes.

Thread safety.

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make VERBOSE=1 && make test

Please read man.

$ cmake .. \
   -DTRALLOC_DEBUG=0        \
   -DTRALLOC_LENGTH=0       \
   -DTRALLOC_DESTRUCTOR=0   \
   -DTRALLOC_REFERENCE=0    \
   -DTRALLOC_POOL=0         \
   -DTRALLOC_UTILS_BUFFER=0 \
   -DTRALLOC_SHARED=0       \
   -DTRALLOC_STATIC=0       \
   -DTRALLOC_MAN=0          \
   -DTRALLOC_TEST=0         \
   -DTRALLOC_EXAMPLES=0

You can test all possible combinations of extensions and features : debug, length, destructor, reference, pool, utils_buffer
