#ifndef _MALLOC_H
#define _MALLOC_H 1

/* A bucket-based malloc implementation for 2^n sized objects.
 * Allocates memory at pbrk for use in dynamic allocations, called "objects".
 * Each object is pre-empted by metadata, which stores a checksum, the width, 
 * and a bit to mark it as taken.
 *
 * Each alloc-able region is pre-empted by a "bucket", which stores metadata
 * about the bucket's state, the width, the first free object, and the next
 * bucket in the chain.
 *
 * Buckets are allocated when needed. The width of the new bucket is determined
 * by the object that needs the bucket.
 * Buckets are always page aligned, and the size is a multiple of a page width.
 *
 * Dependencies:
 *  stddef.h
 *  stdint.h
 *  errno.h
 *  assert.h
 *      assert
 *  string.h
 *      memset
 *      memcpy
 *  unistd.h
 *      sbrk
 *      brk
 *
 * with MALLOC_DBG:
 *  stdio.h
 *      printf*/
