One of our customers wants to use C++ with an embedded system whose C compiler does not contain heap-management routines (malloc(), free(), etc.) Do you have/know of a heap management system in C that I could recommend to him? I'm aware of the library source available with MS-DOS C compilers, but they all seem to contain 80x86 assembly language down at the bottom. Thanks in advance. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.

There's one in the classic K+R book.
Most C compilers implement it in assembly for speed. Customers don't care
about portability of runtime library code, they care about size/speed.
I know that a lot of my programs are heavily dependent on efficient
heap management.
