HI everyone,

   _SBLOCK *allocateMemBlock(size_t size)
[
_SBLOCK *block = (_SBLOCK*)sbrk(0);
void *memadr = (void*)sbrk(0);
void *allocate_mem = (void*)sbrk(BLOCK_SIZE + size);
if(allocate_mem == (void*)-1)
[
return NULL;
]
else
[
block->next = NULL;
block->isfree = false;
 block->size = size;
 block->memoryAddress = memadr+BLOCK_SIZE;
 return block;
  ]

If you want help with code

  1. post valid code (properly formatted)
  2. take the time to explain what you want
  3. if you have a specific problem please state with what (and where)
include stdio.h
include stdbool.h
typedef struct __s_block[
struct __s_block *next;
bool isfree;
size_t size;
void *memoryAddress;
]
_SBLOCK;
define BLOCK_SIZE sizeof(_SBLOCK)

_SBLOCK *allocateMemBlock(size_t size)
[
_SBLOCK *block = (_SBLOCK*)sbrk(0);
void *memadr = (void*)sbrk(0);
void *allocate_mem = (void*)sbrk(BLOCK_SIZE + size);
if(allocate_mem == (void*)-1){
return NULL;
]
else
[
block->next = NULL;
block->isfree = false;
block->size = size;
block->memoryAddress = memadr+BLOCK_SIZE;
return block;
]

//allocate next memory block

Still not properly formatted. Copy your original code into the clipboard then click on </> in the toolbar to paste it into your post. As a further note, C/C++ uses brace brackets, not square brackets. Indenting your code blocks would also help.

It may be helpful if you also revealed what you are trying to accomplish. If it's some homework or work then somewhere there's a specification that may fill in the blanks.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdbool.h>

typedef struct __s_block{
    struct __s_block *next;
    bool isfree;
    size_t size;
    void *memoryAddress;
}_SBLOCK;

#define BLOCK_SIZE sizeof(_SBLOCK)

_SBLOCK *allocateMemBlock(size_t size)
{
    _SBLOCK *block = (_SBLOCK*)sbrk(0);
    void *memadr = (void*)sbrk(0);
    void *allocate_mem = (void*)sbrk(BLOCK_SIZE + size);

    if(allocate_mem == (void*)-1){
        return NULL;
    }else{
        block->next = NULL;
        block->isfree = false;
        block->size = size;
        block->memoryAddress = memadr+BLOCK_SIZE;
        return block;
    }
}

//allocate next memory block
void allocateNextMemBlock(size_t size, _SBLOCK **head)
{
    _SBLOCK *current = *head;
    void *allocate_mem = NULL;
    void *memadr = (void*)sbrk(0);

    if(current==NULL){
        *head = allocateMemBlock(size);
    }else{
        while(current->next != NULL){
            current = current->next;
        }
        _SBLOCK *newblock = sbrk(0);

        allocate_mem = (void*)sbrk(BLOCK_SIZE + size);      
        if(allocate_mem == (void*) - 1){ }
        else{
            newblock->next = NULL;
            newblock->isfree = false;
            newblock->size = size;
            newblock->memoryAddress = memadr+BLOCK_SIZE;
            current->next = newblock;
      }
    }
}

void freeMemBlock(_SBLOCK **head)
{
    if(*head == NULL){}
    else{
        (*head)->isfree = true;
    }
}

void printMemBlocks(_SBLOCK *current)
{
    while(current != NULL){
        printf("isfree = %d, size = %d, memoryAddress = %p, current = %p, next-node = %p\n",
                current->isfree, current->size, current->memoryAddress, current, current->next);
        current = current->next;
    }
}

int main()
{
    _SBLOCK *sMemBlock = NULL;
    allocateNextMemBlock(10,&sMemBlock);
    allocateNextMemBlock(35,&sMemBlock);
    allocateNextMemBlock(62,&sMemBlock);
    printMemBlocks(sMemBlock);

    printf("\nAfter freeing second node\n");
    freeMemBlock(&(sMemBlock->next));
    printMemBlocks(sMemBlock);

    return 0;
}

Hi everyone, sorry for this inconvenience,
I am trying to work on contiguous memory allocation scheme, I found this code but it is in C++ and I need in C
If anyone can help :)

I would really want to help, but code looks like a C program, not in C++.
