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 ...

VirtualAlloc function for direct allocation from OS. Kernel32 APIs to hold kernel memory for the app. Example, CreateFile, CreateThread. User32 APIs and Gdi32 APIs. How to prevent memory leaks in ...

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 ...

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.

Memory allocation to specific neurons (neuronal allocation) and synapses (synaptic allocation) in a neurocircuit is not random; instead, specific mechanisms determine which synapses and neurons go ...

Reserving memory moment to moment, as needed, without having to reserve a fixed amount ahead of time. Modern operating systems perform dynamic memory allocation for their own use. They may also ...
