Hi all,
I'm looking for a class to access large memory blocks of dynamic
length in an efficient way.
Basically the simplest way to allocate a memory block is to allocate a
byte [].
If you now want that this memory block can grow dynamically, then you
usually allocate a byte [] of a certain size, then if size is
outgrown, you create a bigger byte [] and copy the old one to the new
one. This is usually wrapped into a class (I think StringBuffer does
that).
Now the problem with this is, imagine your memory block is already,
say, 100 Meg, now you allocate a new one with 120 Meg, copy the 100
Meg over, and leave the old block to garbage collection. This might
just not be possible if you are low in free memory.
I want to have something more advanced: The memory block is internally
separated into many small blocks - if it grows, only a new small block
needs to be allocated. Of course a class wrapping this would need to
provide functions to take data out of one or more blocks and put them
back together in a continous byte [].
So my question is, does something like this already exist, or do I
need it to write myself?
Thanks,
Markus

Hi,
I'm having bit of questions on recursive pointer. I have following
code that supports upto 8K files but when i do a file like 12K i get a
segment fault. I Know it is in this line of code. How do i make the
last pointer in the indirect sector that has another level of indirect
pointer, and be defined recursively to support infinite large files?

Hi all,
I am trying to write code for my experiments. My work involves huge
datasets, and as such my code needs to be memory efficient. I did some
hand calculations regarding the amount of dynamic memory required for
my datastructures ( used sizeof() to get the size of the structures ).
But mallinfo() function show that approximately double that amount of
memory is being allocated. I am working with gcc 3.2.2 on a redhat 9
machine. I...

I have a program that requires x strings all of y length. x will be in the range
of 100-10000 whereas the strings will all be < 200 each.
This does not need to be grown once it has been created.
Should I allocate x strings of y length or should I allocate a single string x *
y long? Which would be more efficient and / or portable?
Thank you.

Hi All,
We are developing sw for a small embedded OS and we have limited
memory.
We are looking for algorithms, links, and articles about this.
The goal is efficient utilization of small amount of memory - means -
allocation for fixed length blocks / variable length blocks.
Thanks.

Summary: System.Net.ScatterGatherBuffers.MemoryChuck allocates inordinately

The following application consumes inordinate quantities of memory. My code
does not explicitly allocate memory in a loop nor does it explicitly allocate

large as 370 MB. Rarely will it run to completion; usually, it throws an out

I need help in implementing proper error handling.
I am trying to upload a file based on the sample code below. The code works
well except if the file selected is too big.
I do know about the maxRequestLength parameter of the <httpRuntime> section
and that works as expected. What I want is to enforce a max file size but
haven't been able to trap the error thrown when the file is too large and
that's where I could use some help.

I've written a piece of code that uses sockets a lot (I know that
sockets aren't portable C, this is not a question about sockets per

I'm experimenting with a program that manipulates a large matrix, i.e.
a 2-deep array. I started by just allocating this in one go, but later
it occurred to me that, as there are still some very old systems
around where such a large allocation might fail, perhaps it would be
better to split the allocation into many allocations, one for each
row, to increase portability to legacy systems.
The advantage I see is that the memory allocator...

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.
