  2. new and delete (C++) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_and_delete_(C++)

    The C++ standard library instead provides a dynamic array (collection) that can be extended or reduced in its std::vector template class. The C++ standard does not specify any relation between new / delete and the C memory allocation routines, but new and delete are typically implemented as wrappers around malloc and free. [6]

  3. Allocator (C++) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allocator_(C++)

    To achieve this, some form of dynamic memory allocation is usually required. Allocators handle all the requests for allocation and deallocation of memory for a given container. The C++ Standard Library provides general-purpose allocators that are used by default, however, custom allocators may also be supplied by the programmer.

  4. Placement syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placement_syntax

    In the C++ programming language, placement syntax allows programmers to explicitly specify the memory management of individual objects — i.e. their "placement" in memory. Normally, when an object is created dynamically, an allocation function is invoked in such a way that it will both allocate memory for the object, and initialize the object ...

  5. Manual memory management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_memory_management

    In C++, this ability is put to further use to automate memory deallocation within an otherwise-manual framework, use of the shared_ptr template in the language's standard library to perform memory management is a common paradigm. shared_ptr is not suitable for all object usage patterns, however.

  6. C dynamic memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_dynamic_memory_allocation

    dlmalloc is a boundary tag allocator. Memory on the heap is allocated as "chunks", an 8-byte aligned data structure which contains a header, and usable memory. Allocated memory contains an 8- or 16-byte overhead for the size of the chunk and usage flags (similar to a dope vector). Unallocated chunks also store pointers to other free chunks in ...

  7. Free list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_list

    This diagram represents five contiguous memory regions which each hold a pointer and a data block. The List Head points to the 2nd element, which points to the 5th, which points to the 3rd, thereby forming a linked list of available memory regions. A free list (or freelist) is a data structure used in a scheme for dynamic memory allocation.

  8. Region-based memory management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region-based_memory_management

    In computer science, region-based memory management is a type of memory management in which each allocated object is assigned to a region. A region, also called a zone , arena , area , or memory context , is a collection of allocated objects that can be efficiently reallocated or deallocated all at once.

  9. Dangling pointer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_pointer

    Another approach is to use the Boehm garbage collector, a conservative garbage collector that replaces standard memory allocation functions in C and C++ with a garbage collector. This approach completely eliminates dangling pointer errors by disabling frees, and reclaiming objects by garbage collection.
