/*** Heap implementation from James Molloy's tutorial:
  http://www.jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/7.-The%20Heap.html ***/

/* This heap algorithm uses two different data structures: blocks and holes.
 * Blocks: Contiguous areas of memory containing user data
 * Holes: Special kind of blocks that are not in use, this is the result
 * of free() operation. Those spaces lend to a common problem called "Fragmentation";
 * where malloc() cannot use those spaces anymore because they are too small for any
 * kind of program. Any modern OS must have a solution to avoid this problem, but to keep
 * things simple as possible i wont implement anything like that.
 * Blocks/holes contains informations like the magic number(error checking), the type of 
 * chunk(hole or block) and the size, while the footer contains only a pointer to the header
 * (and obviously an error checking flag).
