Detailed Description

Module to declare Memory Manager API.

The Memory Manager module implements the standard API for allocating/freeing memory chunks. The module must be initialized by sys_mm_init() before a call to any alloc/free routines. The memory can be allocated by a call to sys_mm_alloc() and freed by a call to sys_mm_free() . Minimal chunk of memory to allocate is one byte, however the sys_mm_alloc() routine will allocate the number of bytes aligned to the length of the machine word (e.g. 4 bytes for 32-bit architectures). The module is implemented using the doubly linked lists API.

Function Documentation

void* sys_mm_alloc

(

size_t

size

)

Function for allocating memory in the pool.

Search and allocate free memory resources.

Parameters

[in]

size

Size of the requested memory.

Return values

Pointer

to allocated memory, NULL in case of error.

void sys_mm_free

(

void *

p_addr

)

Function for freeing the allocated memory.

Parameters

[in]

p_addr

Pointer to the memory to free.

void sys_mm_init	(	void *	p_start ,
		size_t	size
	)

Function for initializing the memory manager.

Initialize the memory manager pool of the 'size' bytes length at 'p_start' address.

Parameters

p_start	Pool start address.
size	Size of the pool in bytes.
