Next Fit Algorithm create two functions: A malloc() replacement called void *my_

Question

Next Fit Algorithm

create two functions:

A malloc() replacement called void *my_nextfit_malloc(int size) that allocates memory using the next- fit algorithm. Again, if no empty space is big enough, allocate more via sbrk().

A free() called void my_free(void *ptr) that deallocates a pointer that was originally allocated by the malloc you wrote above.

Your free function should coalesce adjacent free blocks. If the block that touches brk is free, you should use sbrk() with a negative offset to reduce the size of the heap.

create a driver program that tests your calls to your mallocs and frees.

Explanation / Answer

Hi! Cramster Terms & Conditions were changed recently (I hope you have read them). Now, experts have to send the answers to askers' inbox after you rate them. That is because of people copying from older threads which have public answers. Hence we can only send the answer after you rate. So please give me a Lifesaver rating and I'll send the solution to your inbox or e-mail. You've got no other option to get the answer, because no one can give you the answer over here. Even you might be banned for rating a user that gave the answer directly on your question. You need not worry as I have the solution ready in my notebook. Hope you rate me :)
