MeMS: Memory Management System.

Introduction

The MeMS (Memory Management System) is a custom memory management system implemented in C. It provides a way to allocate, deallocate, and manage memory in a controlled virtual address space.

Implementation

Data Structures

• NODE: Represents a block of memory in the main chain, containing size, virtual address range, and a linked list of sub-chains.
• SUB_NODE: Represents a segment within a NODE, can be either a "PROCESS" or a "HOLE", containing size and address range information.

Functions

• mems_init(): Initializes the MeMS system.
• mems_malloc(size_t size): Allocates memory of the specified size.
• mems_free(void *v_ptr): Frees the memory pointed to by a MeMS virtual address.
• mems_get(void *v_ptr): Returns the MeMS physical address mapped to a MeMS virtual address.
• mems_print_stats(): Prints statistics about the MeMS system.
• mems_finish(): Cleans up the MeMS system.

Example Usage

The provided example demonstrates the usage of MeMS functions: allocating memory, assigning values, printing statistics, and releasing memory.
