Memory heap fragmentation

[atlascoder]

Hello!

FreeRTOS has several approaches to manage heap memory https://www.freertos.org/a00111.html

I've found in

Code: Select all

freertos/portable.h

that pvPortMalloc is just an alias for malloc from newlib:

Code: Select all

#define pvPortMalloc malloc

So, the question is - does the current solution support memory defragmentation, like coalescing free contiguous blocks?

Yes, sorry, it's duplication. Thanks for the reference!
