When a process is started three segments are created :
1) Text.
2) Stack.
3) Data.
The size of First two is fixed and their upperlimit is fixed by the
compiler. (Plz correct if i'm wrong)
Now The Data Segment : at the start it's size is small but as the
process goes on and requires Dynamic Memory allocation, its size
increases.
Can i know the limit that how much memory a process can request
dynamically. is there any limit set by process upon a process.
if i want to develop my own memory manager including Garbage collector
for Linux, what are the points should i consider as a precaution.

ONE CORRECTION :
plz read following
is there any limit set by process upon a process.
as
is there any limit set by Operating System upon a process.

All the details regarding segments are totally off-topic here. They're
more topical is a Linux or assembly language group like
comp.lang.asm.x 86 or alt.lang.asm.
>From a Standard C prespective, a program can request as much memory as
the system is able to provide. It's as simple and as vague as that.
When an allocation request cannot be satisfied malloc or calloc or
realloc return a null pointer. Standard C provides no more facilities.
To find out the system's installed and free memory and any process
based limits, you'll need to consult the APIs provided by your
operating system and C library.
if i want to develop my own memory manager including Garbage collector
for Linux, what are the points should i consider as a precaution.
Again it's best to ask this question in a group dealing with Linux or
Unix.

I see no such things in the C standard. I.e. you are off-topic.

Those are platform-specific questions. Why not post them in
platform-specific newsgroups?

If any of this is true (none of it is on my system), it is specific to
your OS, compiler, and run-time library. You will have better luck
discussing this in a group where they are topical.

This is platform=specif ic, If you want to discuss how it works, you
need to ask the experts in your platform in a group specialising in
it.

Or maybe not, depending on the implementation. I'm sure I've used an
implementation with a stack section, and if not one implementation I've
used would definitely allow me to create a section called stack and put
the stack in it (or anything else I wanted there).

Does anyone have documentation on the limit for database shared memory
on Red Hat AS 2.1? On AIX, I know it's 2 GB minus the segments
allocated for db2 core functionality (so about 1.7), but I need the
numbers for Linux (I've heard that it's only 1 GB). I would also
really love it if anyone knows where this is officially documented so
I can point some of the teams I'm working with to it.

Hi,
My production machine has 2G of memory, when aspnet_wp.exe goes up to about
~1.2G of memory usage, I start get out-of-memory exception. Other processes
don't use as much memory and I added all the peak memory usage of all the
processes (including aspnet_wp.exe), it goes up to no more than 1.5.
How is that possible? Would anyone know please help? thanks!

I've tried del and gc.collect() with no success.
