Description

malloc - add tests that none of the returned blocks overlap.

Non-overlap would mean that each returned address + size does not fall within the bounds of another returned address / size.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing malloc implementation and write tests that allocate multiple blocks and verify that their address ranges do not overlap.
