It's a good answer to almost every on-topic question in comp.lang.c,
so the context doesn't matter :-)

The standard and the FAQ are better answers ;-)

In any case, last time I looked I'm sure that K&R did not describe how to implement malloc which is what the subject line of this thread is..

It describes the implementation of a "rudimentary" storage allocator
as an example in the section on Address Arithmetic (5.4).

My reply was still technically accurate, I was sure of what I stated. It just happens that I was wrong to be sure of it ;-)
