Small footprint Memory Allocator for Embedded Systems and tests

---

DESCRIPTION: Allocates a pool of memory blocks as requested from the user code and maintains this pool. Uses the heap only once during initialization. All allocations and releases are constant time O(1). Crafted for embedded system usage since the dynamic memory allocation is used only during boot time for a statically defined size and this memory pool is managed

---

USAGE: #include <MemAllocator.h> in your source file.

1. Call init first : init(int count,int size)
2. Allocate memory blocks using Allocate(), returns a pointer to one of the blocks
3. Release memory blocks using Release(void *pBlock), pass a pointer to the block to be released

---

TEST: Unit tests are provided in MemTest.c file. To enable tests remove NDEBUG flag from the MakeFile CFLAGS. Configure the tests in Memtest.c using 2 macros: #define TEST_SIZE 10 #define TEST_DTYPE int
