# Lightweight dynamic memory manager

Read first: Documentation



## Features

* Written in C (C11), compatible with ``size_t`` for size data types

* Implements standard C library functions for memory allocation, malloc, calloc, realloc and free

* Uses *first-fit* algorithm to search for free block

* Supports multiple allocation instances to split between memories and/or CPU cores

* Supports different memory regions to allow use of fragmented memories

* Highly configurable for memory allocation and reallocation

* Supports embedded applications with fragmented memories

* Supports automotive applications

* Supports advanced free/realloc algorithms to optimize memory usage

* Operating system ready, thread-safe API

* C++ wrapper functions

* User friendly MIT license
