The allocation of one byte usually uses a lot more memory in reality, typically 32 Bytes. This change uses memory blocks which act as pools of pointers, so that each pointer really only consumes one byte. Signed-off-by: Sven Anderson <sven@anderson.de>

You make a fair point, I think further optimization is possible though. A pointer being allocated simply indicates a value exists, which can be referenced using that pointer. This reference doesn't have to be an actual pointer, it could simply be an index into an array of bits, which indicate whether a value referenced using that bit's index exists or not. This array of bits can be expanded using I believe this would also solve the problem, while consuming just a single bit per value. |
