For desktop applications, where memory is freely available, these difficulties can be ignored. For embedded - generally real time - applications, ignoring the issue is not an option. Dynamic memory ...

A third way to enable memory checking is to link your program with libmcheck: gcc myprog.c -o myprog -lmcheck The mcheck() function is called automatically before the first memory allocation takes ...

According to the C++ Standard, these four variants of operator new (new, new [], nothrow new, and nothrow new []) are the only replaceable memory allocation functions. If you really want to prevent ...

Well, it’s still not exactly clear how memory allocation “increases the average utilization” or “significantly increases performance.” To even attempt to understand Dynamic Caching, we ...
