Is the source for the allocators freely available? Would love to study those.
Unfortunately, not for the moment.
I'd also like to put in a request for either open-sourcing or a more detailed overview of the implementations, they sound really interesting.
I'll consider writing a more detailed article on the subject. Open-sourcing the code will not be possible in the short-term.
In lieu of the implementation, I'd like to know if these allocators are themselves based on malloc or if you have some tricky assembly/kernel code going on somewhere.
These allocators are based on mmap to build the arenas.
+1, for request of implementation details. I'm really curious about this.
