Posting for a friend: I'm wondering if a memory manager utility exists for the Unix operating system. I've been given a task whose performance will likely improve if I can have more control over its memory management. It seems to me like someone must have already tackled this job. I'm looking for something that will provide more control than malloc/new provides. For example, I'd like to be able to allocate all the memory I anticipate needing up front, in one contiguous chunk, and then parcel it out to my application as it needs it. Are there are any generic memory management implementations publically available for Unix? If it matters, I need something that will work in the HP PA RISC architecture running HP-UX 9.0 or greater, and preferably implemented in C++ (although a C based implementation may be acceptable). I'd like to know if the utility can also work with shared memory, or memory mapped files (mmap). Please reply to this newsgroup or via email to franza@bnr.ca (not me).

Check out the man page for 'malloc' in HPUX 9.0. There are now additional options for malloc which may do what you want. -Bill Hough
