heapbacking
Heapbacking refers to a memory management technique where a heap data structure is used to manage underlying resources. Instead of allocating and deallocating memory directly from a system-level heap, a custom heap is maintained within a larger block of pre-allocated memory. This custom heap then provides its own allocation and deallocation routines, effectively creating a "heap within a heap."
The primary motivations for heapbacking include performance optimization and improved memory utilization. By managing memory at
A heapbacked allocator typically works by dividing a large contiguous memory region into smaller blocks. When
