hello,
I have a trouble when I run a C program.
It have several big pointer variables like 4 by 5000000.
The program is supposed to calculate that big variables with
different parameters repeatedly.
When process run several times, the first serveral runs are fine but
all the memory(main memory and swap memeory) is out of and
it is stop finally.
I am pretty sure that I free every variables for a each run.
My questions are,
1. if the process is needs more memory even though the variables
have been released with free()
2. what is the best way to manage memory
3. is it better to break down a big variables into smaller variables
and run more
4. if there is memory leak, how can I find it?
Any suggestion and helps would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chang

How have you allocated space for these variables. Static allocation not
adviced, if you use dynamic allocaton then make sure you check on the return
value. The program is supposed to calculate that big variables with
different parameters repeatedly.

Processes, IPC are not discussed here thats off topic. But pretty sure there
is a leak somewhere !

Really ..
My questions are,

Use malloc/realloc() and check on the return values 2. what is the best way to manage memory
3. is it better to break down a big variables into smaller variables and run more
Depends on the need for allocation. 4. if there is memory leak, how can I find it?
Use memory diagnostics tools. Google might be of some help.
Any suggestion and helps would be appreciated.

hi, we are using db2 udb v8.1 for windows, i have changed the buffer
pool size to accommadate better performance, say size 200000, if i
have multiple connection to the same database from application
server, will each connection take the memory 800M (200000 x 4k = 800
M), so the memory took will be 800M times number of connections, or
the total memory get from bufferpool will be 800M?

I have question about memory allocation.
I have a trouble when I run a C program.
My C program has several big double pointer(** var) variables to
structure data like 4 by 5000000.
It is supposed to calculate those varibles with different parameters
repeatedly with same size of variables.
When it is running, the first several run is fine
But it uses more and more memory, is used up all the main memory
and swap memory and is stop.

Hi,
I've tried to write the *simplest* memory allocator possible. I think it
would be useful in many cases such as allocating memory on stack as a
poor man's garbage collection perhaps.
I was hoping the clc crowd had some ideas for making it even simpler!
In-lined below the full program (132 lines). It's a circular singular
linked list of "cells" inspired by the one in Plauger's text

Hi,
After following the advice received in this list, I have isolated the
memory leak problem I am having. I am also using MEMWATCH and I think it
is working properly.
The program does some calculations and stores elements in a list. After
that, a sorting algorithm is used over that list.
Two functions are called before the sorting process:

Hi guys,
For last few days we are getting out of private memory error. We have a
development environment. We tried to figure out the problem but we
believe that it might be related to the OS (I am new to Windows so not
sure). We are currently bouncing the instance to overcome this error. This
generally happen at the end of business day only (So maybe memory
might be getting used up?). We have already increased the statement heap &

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
