ynamic Memory Allocation P731 Explicit Vs. Implicit Memory Allocator Explicit: application allocates and frees space E.g., malloc and free in C Implicit: application allocates, but does not free space E.g. garbage collection in Java, ML or Lisp

Malloc package P731 ·# include void * malloc(size t size if successful returns a pointer to a memory block of at least size bytes, aligned to 8-byte boundary if size==0. returnS NULL if unsuccessful returnS null void free( void*p returns the block pointed at by p to pool of available memory p must come from a previous call to malloc, calloc or realloc
6 Malloc package P731 • #include • void *malloc(size_t size) – if successful: • returns a pointer to a memory block of at least size bytes, aligned to 8-byte boundary. • if size==0, returns NULL – if unsuccessful: returns NULL • void free(void *p) – returns the block pointed at by p to pool of available memory – p must come from a previous call to malloc,calloc or realloc
sarko Function P732 ·# include void* sbrk(int incr) If successful It returns the old value of brk If unsuccessful · It returns-1 · It sets errno to nomen If incr is zero It returns the current value incr can be a negative number
7 sbrk() Function P732 • #include • void *sbrk(int incr) – If successful • It returns the old value of brk – If unsuccessful • It returns –1 • It sets errno to ENOMEM – If incr is zero • It returns the current value – incr can be a negative number
