Those would help if the data structs had gotten bigger. In this case the code itself is just larger.
Perhaps we should look into using/writing a malloc implementation that takes a space/speed tradeoff more in line with U-boot's requirements (using a simple first-fit linear scan of free blocks, for example) -- and hopefully more readable than dlmalloc?
I nominate those with the tightest space requirements to do this. :-)
I agree it's sound a better plan but I'll take a lot's of time
Do we think there is some other project that we can acquire one from?
Right, for now we can use the existing malloc with -fno-strict- aliasing.
I'm all for doing this.
