[comp.unix.questions] Named malloc areas

louis@aerospace.aero.org (Louis M. McDonald) (10/13/90)

I would like to created areas that can be refereneced for dynamic memory
usage. That way when I do a malloc, I can specify which heap to use. It
also makes it easier to free the heap, since I could say
	free_mem("name");

It is easier than traversing my structures to do the job. I have the
Princeton malloc library, and have thought about enhancing it for this
concept, but thought someone might have already done something in this
area.
