Memory Allocator

# Memory Allocator Skill

## Overview

Expert skill for custom memory allocator design optimized for language runtime needs.

## Capabilities

- Implement bump/arena allocators
- Implement free-list allocators with size classes
- Design slab allocators for fixed-size objects
- Implement thread-local allocation buffers (TLAB)
- Handle large object allocation strategies
- Implement memory pooling and recycling
- Design memory profiling and statistics
- Implement address space layout optimization

## Target Processes

- memory-allocator-design.js
- garbage-collector-implementation.js
- interpreter-implementation.js
- bytecode-vm-implementation.js

## Dependencies

jemalloc, tcmalloc references

## Usage Guidelines

1. **Size Classes**: Design size classes to minimize internal fragmentation
2. **Thread Safety**: Use thread-local allocation for hot paths
3. **Large Objects**: Handle large objects separately from small allocations
4. **Profiling**: Build allocation statistics from the start
5. **GC Integration**: Design allocator API with GC integration in mind
