  2. 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 ...

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

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

    This requests a memory buffer from the free store that is large enough to hold a contiguous array of N objects of type T, and calls the default constructor on each element of the array. Memory allocated with the new[] must be deallocated with the delete[] operator, rather than delete. Using the inappropriate form results in undefined behavior ...

  4. 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.

  5. Allocator (C++) - Wikipedia

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

    This function returns a pointer to the first element of a newly allocated array large enough to contain n objects of type T; only the memory is allocated, and the objects are not constructed. Moreover, an optional pointer argument (that points to an object already allocated by A ) can be used as a hint to the implementation about where the new ...

  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. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    It would be beneficial to allocate memory aligned to cache lines. If an array is partitioned for more than one thread to operate on, having the sub-array boundaries unaligned to cache lines could lead to performance degradation. Here is an example to allocate memory (double array of size 10) aligned to cache of 64 bytes.

  8. Flexible array member - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member

    The sizeof operator on such a struct gives the size of the structure as if the flexible array member were empty. This may include padding added to accommodate the flexible member; the compiler is also free to re-use such padding as part of the array itself.

  9. Sequence container (C++) - Wikipedia

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

    Also, if the allocated storage in the vector is too small to insert elements, a new array is allocated, all elements are copied or moved to the new array, and the old array is freed. deque , list and forward_list all support fast insertion or removal of elements anywhere in the container.
