mallocQueiro

mallocQueiro is a minimalistic reimplementation of the C malloc function,
written entirely in AMD64 (x86-64) Assembly.
This project explores how dynamic memory allocation works at a low level,
showcasing the fundamentals behind one of the most important routines in C.

📜 Overview

• Pure Assembly: Implemented fully in AMD64 (x86-64) assembly, with no external C code.
• Simplified allocator: Provides a basic, educational version of malloc—not intended for production use.
• Learning focus: Designed to demystify how memory allocation is managed by operating systems and the C runtime.

🚧 Current Status

• Implements a basic memory allocation routine.
• Focused on simplicity and readability rather than performance or advanced features.
• Serves as a starting point for experimenting with low-level memory management.

🛠️ Goals

• Understand how malloc works internally (heap management, system calls, memory alignment).
• Practice systems programming using pure assembly language.
• Provide a small, self-contained example for students and enthusiasts interested in OS and compiler internals.

🤝 Contributing

• This is primarily a learning project, but suggestions, feedback, and discussions are welcome.
• Feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request.
