Thanks for the replies, good tips. And Shantonu you're quite correct Free BSD isn't Apple. Question: Does the darwinxref tool allow one to find the project a given file/header is in ? No, you're probably not. xnu is the kernel. malloc in userspace is implemented in the Libc project, in Libc/gen/malloc.c and scalable_malloc.c. I don't see how you're going to learn the BSD style of malloc-ing by looking at Apple's implementation, which is not shared with any other OS that I know of.
