Hi all,
I have a big C-cod, in which there are lots of dynamic memory allocation used. I want to replace dynamic memroy allocation by static arrays. The following are the problems that i am facing:
1- From structure and dynamic memory allocation point of view, the code is
very complicated. The code has various “nested structures” with a number
of levels. The size of memory allocated for pointer to structure or its
pointer structure member is calculated at “run time”. That size may vary
at different modes.
2- Different levels of structure are being allocated memory at different
places within the code.
3- If we consider any structure, there are two possibilities:
a) It is used as a part of any other structure, or
b) Different individual pointers of type structure are defined, which are being allocated memory at different places with different sizes (which may again in turn vary for different modes) that are calculated at run time. Since size is adaptive, it is very difficult to calculate the minimum size required to be llocated for each structure and array. Is there any software available to do so??
Even if we are able to find the size and allocate the maximum size to different structure and its member, it will be not be the optimum utilization of memory since at the moment in the code, the minimum required memory is calculated every time and only that much is allocated. But one of my senior ask me to do so. Is it going to be benificial some how??
The process seems to be quite complicated and I dont know where to start with and how. I am very confused. Any help will be appriciated .
Thanks

Please mention the compiler you are using?
Hi,
My compiler is Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.
Thanks

Then you can use the tool available here
http://www.codeproject .com/tools/leakfinder.asp
its actually for finding the memory leak of the code,
but u can get the status of the heap allcation too.
So try it out.
It will help you.

Hi all,
I need to know, what is the difference between dynamic memory
allocation, and stack allocation ?
1. If I have a class named DestinationAddress, when should I use
dynamic memory allocation to create object of that class ?
2. If it says "dynamic memory allocation", is it mean the
following code :
DestinationAddress* dest = new DestinationAddress(); // code 1

Hello,
I think dynamic memory allocation is supposed to be used when one
doesn't know in advance how much memory to allocate until run time. An
example from Thinking in C++ is to dynamically create an array (using
"new") since one doesn't know it size when writing the program.
However, it looks to me that the size information must come from
somewhere at run time, and this information can be passed to array
creation function as a...

In C programming, I want to know in what situations we should use
static memory allocation instead of dynamic memory allocation. My
understanding is that static memory allocation like using array is
faster than malloc, but dynamic memory allocation is more flexible.
Please comment... thanks.

i have some doubts on dynamic memory allocation and stacks and heaps
where is the dynamic memory allocation used?
in function calls there are some counters like "i" in the below
function. Is this stored in stack. If yes whether it will be deleted
on exiting from the function.
is dynamic memory allocation needed for this purpose

Which allocation (Static / Dynamic) is suitable for the situation when
we are trying to allocate for a overloaded memory when the memory is
full and no space to allocate.
What will happen if both the allocation is impossible.

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.
