A slightly simpler way is to have a system with fixed size(say 256 bytes) blocks available.
The something like 'void* getblock()'/'void free(void*)' can be implemented.
The memory manager routines then can keep track of these block with a bitmap for exeample (free/used).
The application of course has to be written with this in mind.




Taking your example of setting 256 bytes. How do I go about setting it using the void *getblock() and void free(void*) function..

Thanks..
