xmemory is a small and efficient module offering memory extension capabitilies to ANSI C programs running on POSIX-compliant systems. It offers several useful features such as memory leak detection, protection for free on NULL or unallocated pointers, and virtually unlimited memory space. xmemory requires the mmap() system call to be implemented in the local C library to function. This module has been tested on a number of current Unix flavours and is reported to work fine. The current limitation is the limited number of pointers it can handle at the same time. See the documentation attached to this module for more information.
