dbestfit is a complete and fast malloc-replacement that features a best-fit algoritm with special small-block treatment, to maximize memory usage. This is particularly suitable for embedded systems.

dbestfit has been used to replace the pSOS-provided malloc system several times. dbestfit performs a magnitude faster and of course doesn't force a task switch when used - and it doesn't fragment the memory as much. But this code is not pSOS-specific.

3.3

• Updated, works fine!

3.2

• Written a long time ago, never actually proven in real life, even if dmalloc() (for the small parts) has.
