Getting Out of memory exception even when the memory is not full

Hi,
I am ruuning to out of memory exception , My system has RAM of 4 GB
and virtual memory paging size set to 4GB .When I check the memory
occupied by the process during the exception , it is less ( around 500
MB and peak Memory usage 800MB , even the total memory of the system
is not high . what are passing use cases where the system leads to out
of memory exception ?
I am using two process for the program and the out of memory occuring
in the second process.

Thanks in Advance

Regards
Aravind

There are a few things I've run into that will cause this.

1) A recursive loop that allocates memory.
2) An attempt to allocate memory that is WAY outside of the total
amount available (such as a stray long value passed to the allocator).
3) An attempt to allocate a negative number.

How large are the objects you are creating?
You can get OOM exceptions when there is not enough free memory in one
'contiguous' block to fulfill the request as a result of memory
fragmentation.
Say you have 900 MB total Virtual address space available , with the largest
block being 200MB , when your application needs 201MB for a string array it
will fail with an OOM exception as there is no block large enough to hold
the array. Pay special attention to ArrayLists, they grow by a factor 2 when
they get full.

I finally narrowed down my code to this situation, quite a few (not all) of my CMyClass objects got hold up after each run of this function via the simple webpage that shows NumberEd editbox. My memory profile shows that those instances survive 3 rounds of GC collections - it's not what I expected. In my real code, CMyClass occupies big amount of memory and they all share one stance of another class that I don't have enough memory hold...

It looks like System::Collections::Generic.List throws and OUT_OF_MEMORY exception whenever memory allocated exceeds 256 MB. I have 1024 MB on my system so I am not even out of physical RAM, much less virtual memory. Are other people experiencing this same problem?

Hi, I tried to make delete operator private for my class. Strangely it is giving me error if I compile that code in VC++.NET. But it compiles successfully on VC++6.o. Can anybody give me inputs about it. I wanted that on my class delete should not work. Object pointer should be deleted using my function only which is taking care of reference count for particular class. Thanx in advance for your inputs.

I'm debugging an xmlrpc client/server application. Often when an exception occurs in the server, I receive only a very short error message on the client. For example: xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "<type 'exceptions.AssertionError'>:"> Presumably this is because xmlrpclib on the server is catching the exception, and only sending the exception name to the client, not the server's stack trace.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
