Looks nifty and simple. Last time I had to work with low mem environment (64k heap for Lua running on MIPS) I ended up implementing something close to TLSF [1]

Looks nifty and simple. Last time I had to work with low mem environment (64k heap for Lua running on MIPS) I ended up implementing something close to TLSF [1] allowing to choose some trade-offs regarding perf/allocation efficiency. In the end we still had to add one layer of hack^H^H engineering tricks to workaround fragmentation issues in the worst case :-) [1] http://www.gii.upv.es/tlsf/files/ecrts04_tlsf.pdf http://www.gii.upv.es/tlsf/files/ecrts04_tlsf.pdf
