-Things that still need attention:
-
- * Make implementation changes necessary to allow multiple processes
- to use the mmalloc managed region simultaneously. This requires,
- at the minimum, some sort of cooperative locking that ensures that
- only one process at a time is changing any of the mmalloc managed
- data structures (its ok for the mmalloc managed data regions to be
- changed at any time since we don't care about their contents).
-
- * In order to support multiple processes using the mmalloc managed
- region, the malloc descriptor needs to be broken into two parts,
- one part which is specific to the given process and is maintained
- separately on a per process basis, and another part which is common
- to all processes. As an example, the file descriptor is specific
- to a given process, as are the morecore and abortfunc pointers.
- However magic[], the version number, the flags field, etc are
- common to all processes.
