Alternative implementation of malloc

This post is edited and the original post here is asking the implementation of _malloc_r which is not a good move to use.

My question now is there any other malloc implementation or alternative function for malloc and free functions?

Please advice.

Many thanks.

There are a lot of alternate malloc implementations, usually intended for debugging or other special purposes. One that you might want to take a look at is Google's tcmalloc.

Give up on trying to have a reentrant malloc. It's a bad idea. If you really need to allocate memory from signal handlers, use mmap, but even that is a bad design.
