Does the meaning of CHUCKSIZE "minimal data segment allocation unit" mean the minimal amount ds_heap_brk can be incremented(not decremented) at once?

kwonsw055 commented 5 months ago

ds_heap_brk can be incremented by any size. You may or may not use CHUNKSIZE depending on your implementation.

Thank you. So even when mm_init is called we have this freedom?

kwonsw055 commented 5 months ago

Yes. You may freely select a size for mm_init too.
