# Assembly Memory Management Examples

This repository contains examples of memory management implemented in x86-64 assembly on Windows. Each example

demonstrates different approaches to handling memory allocation and deallocation.

## Contents

1. **Simple Memory Management Example**

   A basic example that demonstrates manual memory management using a statically allocated memory pool.

2. **Simple Memory Management with Heap**

   An extension of the basic example that includes dynamic memory allocation using heap memory.

3. **First Fit Allocation Example**

   An example implementing a simple first-fit memory allocation strategy, showing how to manage a memory pool

   efficiently.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- NASM (Netwide Assembler)

- MinGW-win64 (Minimalist GNU for Windows)

### Compilation

```bash

nasm -f win64 -o example.exe example.asm

gcc -m64 -o example example.o -lkernel32 -lmsvcrt

```

Replace `example.asm` with the desired file name.

### Running the program

```bash

.\example.exe

```

### Examples

- `simple_memory_management.asm` (EX2): Demonstrates basic manual memory allocation and deallocation.

- `simple_memory_management_with_heap.asm` (EX1): Shows how to manage dynamic memory using the heap.

- `first_fit_allocation.asm` (EX3): Implements a first-fit allocation strategy with a custom memory pool.
