No allocations are needed. Currently the layout is like this: unsigned size unsigned canary <memory block> unsigned canary If you make it void* next unsigned canary <memory block> unsigned canary , all you need is a root pointer to walk over all existing blocks. The next pointer in each block will point to the next one, the last in the list contains NULL.
