  2. Heap (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure)

    For Haskell there is the Data.Heap module. The Java platform (since version 1.5) provides a binary heap implementation with the class java.util.PriorityQueue in the Java Collections Framework. This class implements by default a min-heap; to implement a max-heap, programmer should write a custom comparator.

  3. Memory safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_safety

    A guard page typically halts the program, preventing memory corruption, but functions with large stack frames may bypass the page, and kernel code may not have the benefit of guard pages. Heap exhaustion – the program tries to allocate more memory than the amount available. In some languages, this condition must be checked for manually after ...

  4. Heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap

    Heap (data structure), a data structure commonly used to implement a priority queue; Heap (mathematics), a generalization of a group; Heap (programming) (or free store), an area of memory for dynamic memory allocation; Heapsort, a comparison-based sorting algorithm; Heap overflow, a type of buffer overflow that occurs in the heap data area

  5. Garbage collection (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection...

    Stop-and-copy garbage collection in a Lisp architecture: [1] Memory is divided into working and free memory; new objects are allocated in the former. When it is full (depicted), garbage collection is performed: All data structures still in use are located by pointer tracing and copied into consecutive locations in free memory.

  6. Memory corruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_corruption

    When the corrupted memory contents are used later in that program, it leads either to program crash or to strange and bizarre program behavior. Nearly 10% of application crashes on Windows systems are due to heap corruption. [1] Modern programming languages like C and C++ have powerful features of explicit memory management and pointer ...

  7. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    Most structured and object-oriented languages provide an area of memory, called the heap or free store, from which objects are dynamically allocated. The example C code below illustrates how structure objects are dynamically allocated and referenced. The standard C library provides the function malloc() for allocating memory blocks from the ...

  8. Binary heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap

    Example of a complete binary max-heap Example of a complete binary min heap. A binary heap is a heap data structure that takes the form of a binary tree.Binary heaps are a common way of implementing priority queues.

  9. Code segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_segment

    The term "segment" comes from the memory segment, which is a historical approach to memory management that has been succeeded by paging.When a program is stored in an object file, the code segment is a part of this file; when the loader places a program into memory so that it may be executed, various memory regions are allocated (in particular, as pages), corresponding to both the segments in ...
