+ * @(#)nmalloc.c 1 (Caltech) 2/21/82
+ *
+ * U of M Modified: 20 Jun 1983 ACT: strange hacks for Emacs
+ *
+ * Nov 1983, Mike@BRL, Added support for 4.1C/4.2 BSD.
+ *
+ * This is a very fast storage allocator. It allocates blocks of a small
+ * number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size. Blocks
+ * that don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size. In this
+ * implementation, the available sizes are (2^n)-4 (or -16) bytes long.
+ * This is designed for use in a program that uses vast quantities of
+ * memory, but bombs when it runs out. To make it a little better, it
+ * warns the user when he starts to get near the end.
+ *
+ * June 84, ACT: modified rcheck code to check the range given to malloc,
+ * rather than the range determined by the 2-power used.
+ *
+ * Jan 85, RMS: calls malloc_warning to issue warning on nearly full.
+ * No longer Emacs-specific; can serve as all-purpose malloc for GNU.
+ * You should call malloc_init to reinitialize after loading dumped Emacs.
+ * Call malloc_stats to get info on memory stats if MSTATS turned on.
+ * realloc knows how to return same block given, just changing its size,
+ * if the power of 2 is correct.
+ */
+
+/*
+ * nextf[i] is the pointer to the next free block of size 2^(i+3). The
+ * smallest allocatable block is 8 bytes. The overhead information will
+ * go in the first int of the block, and the returned pointer will point
+ * to the second.

+ * nmalloc[i] is the difference between the number of mallocs and frees

+ * looking to see how much storage was used. The allocation was 201 pages,
