In this session the problems will be outlined in detail and an approach to deterministic dynamic memory allocation detailed. C/C++ Memory Spaces. It may be useful to think in terms of data memory in C ...

I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...

The flags field controls the behavior of memory allocation. We can divide flags into three groups: action modifiers, zone modifiers and types. Action modifiers tell the kernel how to allocate memory.

Reserving memory for specific purposes. At startup, operating systems and applications reserve fixed amounts of memory (RAM) and may allocate more as needed. Although a virtual memory function ...
