Subject: sam's memory allocator
Date: Fri, 7 Apr 1995 06:14:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <swordfish.797246527@minster.york.ac.uk> (raw)

In the SP&E paper about sam it's mentioned that sam uses a custom memory
allocator which allocates strings in a garbage-compacted heap. The version
which is released these days uses just malloc() and realloc(). What was
the reason for throwing the custom allocator away?

-Mark.
