// rt/malloc.ww — bump allocator over 2MiB chunks. Archived into // libwwrt.a, compiled standalone with bare symbols, like rt/ensure.ww. // Under strict-package (#24a) it declares `package rt;` (matching its // directory); the export's link name stays bare via its own // @symbol("rt_malloc"). // // WHY bump, replacing the page-per-call mmap (rt_segmalloc, ex-rt_malloc): // the old rt_malloc page-rounded every request, so a 32-72B node cost a // whole 4KiB page. w6a/w6c emit ~4 such nodes per .s line; a 145K-line // assembly burned ~625K pages (~2.5GB) vs C w6a's 24MB. Packing nodes // into shared chunks collapses that to the live set. (task #8) // // Mirrors Hare rt::malloc's chunk-bump (ref/hare/rt/malloc.ha:52-66, // CHUNKSZ :24, ALIGN :14), minus the bin/freelist machinery — that // exists only to support free, which ww does not have. // // Zero-init is preserved: every byte handed out is fresh from // MAP_ANONYMOUS (kernel-zeroed) and never reused, so alloc(T{})'s // zero-fill still holds.
