Hi everyone,
I took some time to release this allocator library for C which has various common patterns, e.g. arenas, pools, GPA, temporary and stack allocators. I found myself rewriting arenas/pools many times and since the same ideas exist in Zig, it would be useful to have this in C. In Rust/C++, there are a few external libraries, std::allocator class template isn't particularly concrete, it only provides an interface (allocator_traits).
It also makes it trivial to write a custom allocator. Cheers!
