24 `ptmalloc', a malloc implementation for multiple threads without
25 lock contention, by Wolfram Gloger <wmglo@dent.med.uni-muenchen.de>.
26 See the files `ptmalloc.c' or `COPYRIGHT' for copying conditions.
28 VERSION 2.6.4-pt Wed Dec 4 00:35:54 MET 1996
30 This work is mainly derived from malloc-2.6.4 by Doug Lea
31 <dl@cs.oswego.edu>, which is available from:
33 ftp://g.oswego.edu/pub/misc/malloc.c
35 This trimmed-down header file only provides function prototypes and
36 the exported data structures. For more detailed function
37 descriptions and compile-time options, see the source file
38 `ptmalloc.c'.
