### Introduction

smart-malloc is a memory management library that uses overengineered and overheaded machine learning system to determine if it's a good idea to allocate or not a new memory block. It uses the ```sbrk()``` [POSIX interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) to allocate new memory.

### Use Cases

As already mentioned, smart-malloc has no intention to be a memory management library for all purposes. It has a really overengineered and overheaded machine learning system that works to detect and decide when it's time to free some memory block and if it's acceptable to allocate a new memory block.

The main point of smart-malloc is for reasearch and debugging, so, the use in production scenarios should be avoided.

### Usage

Clone the repository and copy the smart_malloc.c and smart_malloc.h inside your project. Import the headers file:

```c

#include "smart_malloc.h"

```

and start using it:

```c

smart_malloc(strlen("Hello World!\n") * 10);

```
