***HEAP ALLOCATOR ANNOUNCEMENT READ ME*** Hey everyone! Just as a heads up: during the heap allocator assignment we have a lot of people come to office hours with questions of the form "my heap allocator is crashing. What is wrong?" If you have a bug in your heap allocator implementation, more likely than not the first question we will ask you is "what checks are you running in validate_heap() to catch this bug?" If your answer is "None" or "what is validate_heap()?", then we probably won't be able to give you much advice beyond telling you to beef up your "validate_heap()" implementation. So please, do this before signing up! "But Jim," I hear you cry, "what *does* validate_heap() do?" Within validate_heap(), you should be implementing a sequence of checks to verify that, at any given point in time, your heap and associated data structures are correctly formed. Then, when you run alloctest, it will halt the execution of a script as soon as one of your checks fail, allowing you to see exactly which request led to a problem. Each time you add a feature to your allocator, you should ask yourself what that feature guarantees about the state of the heap and think about what you can do to verify that those conditions are true. As an example, suppose that I am working on an explicit free-list design, with each free block holding a pointer to the next free block in the list. In this situation, I could add some code within validate_heap() to make a traversal of the free list, checking that for every block in the list, the header indicates that the block is in fact freed.
