This is not an error. The changes of struct block* b = (struct block*)ptr - 1; to struct block *b = (struct block *)((char *)ptr - BLOCK_SIZE); adds more text to parse for the compiler and just looks ugly. Both do the same thing.
In my_custom_free there's an error on line number 232 for the statement if (b == last). The last global variable was not updated prior to that statement, which in turn the statement will…
