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 ...

To ensure reliability of any embedded application which involves extensive usage of stack and heap, it is critical for the system designer to anticipate the maximum stack and heap utilization of the ...

Okay,<BR> I'm reading my old C++ textbooks from college and they all talk about dynamic memory allocation. We all know that when creating objects at compile time that they will be allocated to the ...

Dynamic memory allocation / deallocation happens very frequently in many programs. A large fraction of operations on strings and dynamic data structures (lists, trees, tables, etc) involve allocating ...

As designs increase in complexity, the density of memories that they connect to has also increased. It is not uncommon to see gigabyte memories. Having large memories comes with its own set of ...

For years, there's been a known security vulnerability hiding in the GNU C Library (glibc). This library, which is critical for Linux and many other operating systems and programs, had a dynamic ...

One of the problems with developing embedded systems is the detection of memory leaks; I've found three tools that are useful for this. These tools are used to detect application program errors, not ...
