One reason to Modify your Memory Allocator (C/C++) // We tend to take our memory allocator (malloc) for granted. It's always there and it works well. But, there's always room for improvement. This video tutorial describes one reason why you might want to make some changes to malloc that are going to make it easier to catch bugs in your programs.

Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.


About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.
