29 `ptmalloc2', a malloc implementation for multiple threads without
30 lock contention, by Wolfram Gloger <wg@malloc.de>.
32 VERSION 2.7.0
34 This work is mainly derived from malloc-2.7.0 by Doug Lea
35 <dl@cs.oswego.edu>, which is available from:
37 ftp://gee.cs.oswego.edu/pub/misc/malloc.c
39 This trimmed-down header file only provides function prototypes and
40 the exported data structures. For more detailed function
41 descriptions and compile-time options, see the source file
42 `malloc.c'.
