19:09, 30 December 2025 Raion talk contribs created page Libc: malloc (Created page with "The IRIX libc malloc family (malloc, free, realloc, etc.) implements a classic System V-style dynamic memory allocator using a splay tree for managing free blocks of varying sizes, separate linked lists for small blocks, aggressive coalescing, and delayed freeing to preserve freed block contents across calls. It obtains more memory via sbrk (or equivalent GETCORE), aligns allocations to word boundaries, and handles non-contiguous arenas when necessary. This decompiled im...") Tag: Visual edit

It parses the format string, reads from a FILE * stream (or string via dummy stream for sscanf), matches input against specifiers, skips whitespace as required, and stores converted values via va_list.
