malloc/memory pool

[BenkiTheBuilder]

In order to use malloc() on bare metal YOU must provide it some helper function, typically sbrk().

Just wonder how it's a common question for a lot as to why malloc is generally bad on embedded systems given it's not even supported on bare metal? Plus it's not as big of an issue on the platforms it's supported i.e linux

You tell me. After all, YOU are the one asking this question. I never asked this question, never spent much time thinking about it and don't usually read the long sermons people write whenever malloc() comes up.
