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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Back when I was deep into building embedded control systems (and snow was always 20 feet deep and going to and from school was up hill both ways), the use of dynamic memory allocation was forbidden.

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 ...

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 ...

The lightweight allocator demonstrates 53% faster execution times and requires 23% lower memory usage, while needing only 530 lines of code. Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices ...
