There's a chapter on memory management* in Hanson's _C Interfaces and Implementations_ (http://sites.google.com/site/cinterfacesimplementations/ http://sites.google.com/site/cinterfacesimplementations/), which is one of the better advanced C books I've read. * Mostly, arena-based allocators. Paul Wilson's "Uniprocessor Garbage Collection Techniques" (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.47.2438 http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.47.2...) is an excellent overview, as is Jones and Lins's _Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management_.
