BTW.:

For my embedded C projects, I use different memory managers, dependent 
on the complexity of the project. Either a straight forward one, that 
just allocates blocks in a linked list or a more sophisticated one that 
uses different strategies for different block sizes (small: allocate 
equally sized blocks, medium: use a linked list within a preoccupied 
area, large: one area for each block.

AFAIK the fpc RTL memory manager is similarly "sophisticated", no Idea 
what cmem does.

I do know that for Delphi a third-party memory manager exists that works 
similar and on top oft hat allows for unifying the memory management of 
a program and the dlls called (which Delphi also does out of the box 
with dynamic packages).

Can "cmem" (or some other fpc aware memory manager) also unify the 
memory management of a program and dlls (e.g. in order to allow for 
"plugins to fpc programs) ?
