ft_malloc is a recreation of the malloc dynamic allocation library. This includes the functions malloc(), calloc(), realloc(), and free(). It expands on the concept of memory management by learning how to maintain a process' heap. ft_malloc is a systems project in the 42 curriculum.
ft_malloc uses my 42 library which has been included as a git submodule. To set up this project, run git clone https://github.com/mint42/ft_malloc in the folder of your choice. Next, from the root of the ft_malloc repository run git submodule update --init libft to import the contents of the libft repository. Finally you can run make which will use the Makefile to build libft, and then the malloc library.
