We begin designing our first system, the heap memory manager. We first discuss the reason why we need a memory manager at all. We then decide what features we want from our custom manager. Next we take a look at the specific implementation we want to use (using blocks and segments, headers, and how we will handle defragmentation). We finish up by deciding what classes we are going to need, and what those classes responsibilities are going to be.
