Write program to run in parallel? Yes. Did you remember to use a Scalable Memory Allocator? No? Then read on … In my experience, making sure “memory allocation” for a program is ready for ...

In C and C++, it can be very convenient to allocate and de-allocate blocks of memory as and when needed. This is certainly standard practice in both languages and almost unavoidable in C++. However, ...

Dealing with dynamic memory traditionally has been one of the most awkward issues of C and C++ programming. It is not surprising that some supposedly easier languages, such as Java, have introduced ...

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 ...

Since the address of the memory allocated when mallocing is saved in the program and used to specify free, the memory allocation cannot be changed arbitrarily on the memory allocator side.

The C language, created in the 1970s and now running everything from smartphones to space vehicles and internet protocols, allows programmers to directly manipulate memory allocation.

C and C++ programmers control dynamic memory allocation. Reckless use of this control can lead to memory management problems, which cause performance degradation, unpredictable execution or crashes.

In C and C++, it can be very convenient to allocate and de-allocate blocks of memory as and when needed. This is certainly standard practice in both languages and almost unavoidable in C++. However, ...
