Original: The Double Headed Stack Allocator

A new technical blog post on demofox.org describes a 'double headed stack allocator', a memory management design that lets a stack-style allocator grow from both ends, apparently to reduce fragmentation or allow two independent allocation regions in one buffer. Developers on Hacker News are discussing the approach and its trade-offs versus traditional linear allocators.
