Is heap fragmentation in C a problem or non-problem?
I asked this question because I am in the middle of doing a garbage collector
for C++. If heap fragmentation is not a problem, then I need not move the
heap objects to compact the heap.
Are there any estimate of the space wasted, or performance decrease due
to heap fragmentations?
