#include "config.h"

//  A small, simple heap manager based (loosely) on 
//  the startup heap manager from FreeBSD, optimized for space.
//
//  Manages a fixed-size memory pool, supports malloc and free only.
//  No support for realloc.
//
//  Allocates chunks in multiples of four bytes, with a four byte header
//  for each chunk. The overhead of each chunk is kept low by keeping pointers
//  as two byte offsets within the heap, rather than (4 or 8 byte) pointers.
