TINYHEAP

Simple, linked-list implementation of a heap in pure C.

See the tinyheap_config.h in the default/ folder for buildtime configurations.

To be used in an embedded environment with small ram.

Use the heap by doing something like this:

#include "tinyheap.h"

// use this space as heap static char heap_space[4096]; // this is the heap metainfo static tinyheap heap;

// initiate heap, do this at startup void startup_heap_init(void) { th_init(&heap, heap_space, sizeof(heap_space)); }

// use the heap void use_heap(void) { void *data = th_malloc(&heap, 100); if (data == 0) { .. out of memory .. } else { .. do something with those hundred bytes .. th_free(&heap, data); } }
