1) malloc() is a userspace function, not kernel.

2) There are multiple malloc() implementations out there - the one you're
using is *probably* glibc's, but there are others (including debugging
memory allocators that return strictly the number of bytes allocated, with
canaries on either end to trap misuse of memory).

What do you mean by "no feature", and what were you expecting? When I run it, I
get:

% ./a.out
a = f35010
b = f35040
c = f35070

which tells me that malloc() returned 3 pointers that are 48 bytes
apart (which is *not* the same thing as "there are 48 bytes safe to use").
