C++ function memory alignment
Excellent inquisitiveness. You're finding out what actually happens when a function is called, which is invaluable information. The stack is used for more than just storing local variables and function parameters. The exact layout of the stack contents is dictated by the ABI, an architecture specific description of how functions...
Converting collection to array with no extra memory
java,arrays,performance,memory,collections
Your theory is entirely possible. It does take the ArrayList a while to shrink the size of the internal array used to store the references. You can avoid that effect by using another List implementation like LinkedList that doesn't show this behavior, but those also have considerable memory overhead that...
C++ object instance member function memory representation
Your second assumption is probably true for most of implementations. int A::get_member_var_a() will most probably be compiled to something like int __internal_compiler_prefix___A___get_member_var___thiscall(A* this) all a->fun() will be 'replaced' by compiler with fun(a). storing address to function inside instance is just too big overhead (couple of bytes per method per object)...

Memory Management (Allocating Pages/Frames to Logical Addresses)
memory,memory-management,operating-system,paging,virtual-memory
If you have a page size of 4096, then page number = address DIV 4096 page offset = address MOD 4096 Those two values uniquely identify the logical memory location. Two addresses can be in the same frame. If that were not the case, there would be no point in...
Print global pointer gives coredump
As some of the comments mention, you are dereferencing a pointer that is pointing into an area of memory that it should not be. unsigned int *time = 0; is declaring a pointer to an unsigned integer, and the memory address it is pointing to is address 0x0. You are...
C++11 Allocation Requirement on Strings

Section 21.4.1.5 of the 2011 standard states: The char-like objects in a basic_string object shall be stored contiguously. That is, for any basic_string object s, the identity &*(s.begin() + n) == &*s.begin() + n shall hold for all values of n such that 0 <= n < s.size(). The two...
My 64 bit machine can only store 4 bytes each memory location
c,memory,gdb,64bit,32bit-64bit
Each memory location can only store eight bits, because the memory is byte addressable. A 64-bit machine doesn't give you 64 bits in every memory location, it simply means that it can naturally handle 64 bits at a time. For example, registers are 64 bits wide (unless you intentionally manipulate...
Java - allocation in enhanced for loop
No, you cannot use an enhanced for loop to initialize the elements of an array. The declared variable, here x, is a separate variable that refers to the current element in the array. It's null here because you just declared the array. You are changing x to refer to a...

Allocated on the heap or the stack? [closed]

Changing Django code logs me out of application
I'm guessing that your SESSION_ENGINE setting is set to cache, and that you're using the development server. If so, then the behavior you're seeing makes perfect sense.

I am using 32bit python There's your problem. 32-bit processes, generally speaking, are limited to 4 GB of virtual memory each, minus kernel space, which can be significant. You will need to either switch to 64-bit computing or redesign your program to consume less memory. This is normally done...
Should I zero the allocated memory?
If you don't initialize a reserved memory area it will contain any value that was stored there earlier. So it is always a good idea to "zero it", which means overwriting what ever was there with some value, in this case the null byte \0. If you replace malloc with...

Due to JavaScript arrays actually being objects, memory is not contiguous.

In fact, doing var arr = new Array(1000); per Danny's answer...

Slicing will copy the references. If you have a list of 100 million things: l = [object() for i in xrange(100000000)] and you make a slice: l2 = l[:-1] l2 will have its own backing array of 99,999,999 pointers, rather than sharing l's array. However, the objects those pointers refer...
