What is this?

I am hasty to call this a request for a "standard library" as we are not near that yet, till we get struct support I cannot honestly make that request. There are, however, some pieces of code that can be written in C and linked in via T's extern keyword during link time via the system's CC.

One of such things is allocator code. Now we can (and probably will) use C Library's malloc and free but I would like to have our own implementation:

First version in C
- Do it in C and we link it in
Final version in T
- We will first need struct support

What is needed?

On the branch indicated by this issue, we require an implementation of:

malloc(size_t) (size_t alias for system's biggest supported unsigned type)
free(void*)

@gusmeyer We can discuss ideas here, I will make a branch for you later once we have had a discussion on mmap() etc.

@gusmeyer Okay all setup!

Use the branch as specified in this issue! It is research/gmalloc. Also remember to only use Gitea for issues (ALWAYS push to GitHub).

Lastly, it may be useful to track your time. Hit the Start timer button when you begin work and hit stop timer when you end. It racks up time and helps us keep track of progress.
