How to dynamically allocate memory in assembly language on Linux
I explain how to allocate memory dynamically using the MMAP SYSCALL on Linux in x86 64-bit assembly language. I present two functions: the first allocates a memory block of a specified size, and the second frees a memory block allocated by a previous call. Finally, I adapt the example from the previous video (that uses a statically allocated Trie structure) to use dynamic memory allocation.
