Description

Goal

Stabilize closure plugin.

Overview

Built-in closure plugin doesn't manage memory for closures. I wrote a basic simple-heap in JavaScript a long time ago for emulated malloc/free calls. It should be trivial to port it to a walt file.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Implement actual malloc and free
  • Write some tests

Contributor guide

Research direction
Port the existing simple heap JavaScript implementation to a walt file, implementing malloc and free, and write tests.
