Heap management for memory corruption detection

A system on a chip (SoC) comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device coupled to the processor;
• a memory controller coupled to the memory device, the memory controller to:
• receive, from an application, an release request for a release of a memory object in a system memory of a processor, wherein the release request comprises a pointer;
• identify a first memory corruption detection (MCD) unique identifier and a memory address of the pointer;
• change the first MCD unique identifier;
• change a second MCD unique identifier in a MCD table of the system memory associated with the memory address of the pointer;
• and
• release a memory object in the system memory associated with the memory address.

A method comprising:

• receiving, from the application, an allocation request for an allocation of one or more contiguous memory blocks of the memory for a memory object;
• allocating, by a processor, the one or more contiguous memory blocks for the memory object in view of a size of the memory object requested;
• writing, into a MCD table, a first memory corruption detection (MCD) unique identifier associated with the one or more contiguous memory blocks;
• creating a pointer with a memory address of the memory object and a second MCD unique identifier associated with the memory object;
• and
• sending, to the application, the pointer.
