hardened_malloc
Memory allocator
A memory allocator designed to provide hardening against heap corruption vulnerabilities and improve overall performance.
Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.
