# A Buddy Allocator This is a general purpose allocator designed for memory-constrained environments. It uses the Buddy System allocation scheme. Only allocations with a size that is a power of 2 are supported. Any size other that's not a power of 2 will be rounded up. Here's an example: ```c #include #include #include "buddy.h" int main(void) { // This is the memory we will allocate from char memory[1 << 20]; struct buddy *alloc = buddy_startup(memory, sizeof(memory)); // Allocate some memory (NULL is returned on failure) char *str1 = buddy_malloc(alloc, 32); char *str2 = buddy_malloc(alloc, 32); strncpy(str1, "Hello", 32); strncpy(str2, "world", 32); printf("%s, %s!\n", str1, str2); buddy_free(alloc, 32, str1); buddy_free(alloc, 32, str2); buddy_free(alloc, 32, str2); // Double frees are caught! return 0; } ```
