TLDR; You can find the project repository here. What? How? Why? A few Christmases ago, I was browsing the source code for the esp-idf heap allocator1 and thought: This is quite interesting, I should write my own allocator After a bit of looking around, I discovered that general purpose heap allocators are one of those problems that has no perfect solution (which is the kind of problem I really enjoy). It’s all about trade-offs. The Most Important Micros Pebble Time 2 Is In Mass Production!
Embedded systems engineers and hardware startup founders must balance performance, memory use, and complexity when choosing or building heap allocators and microcontroller subsystems. New open-source allocator projects and renewed attention to key microcontrollers can shift design trade-offs and tool choices.
