How would you implement malloc in C and garbage collection in C++?

Isn't malloc already implemented in C, why would it need to be reimplemented? Or are we writing a new compiler in C?

yeah it is already implemented in C but they want to see how you can implement your own MALLOC function....I mean to say .."allocate memory dynamically w/t using malloc in C"...so he gave the hint to write definition of malloc in C...

The C Bible, K & R C has an impelemntation for malloc :-)

Hint : use brk() system call.
