Memory management in Contiki-OS
memory-management,heap-memory,contiki
All required memory is statically allocated during compilation/linkage. Its done by the PROCESS Macro[1], which allocates a structure containing the necessary information [2]. As for the events, they must allocate their own memory, too[3]. It is therefore not possible to run the same thread* or schedule the same event twice....
Temporary variable destroyed with overloaded + and += operator
c++,memory-management,operator-overloading
That's exactly how it should happen. It is probably more correct to say that it is not temporary b1 + b2 that gets destroyed, it is temporary Bcd(*this) += rhs inside your implementation of binary + that gets destroyed. Your implementation of + const Bcd& Bcd::operator +(const Bcd &rhs) const...
Java how to limit number of threads acting on method

You can use the Executor.newFixedThreadPool idiom, internally to your execution logic.

Retain cycle in Swift when Object A has Object B as a property and Object B has an array property that contains Object A?
ios,swift,memory-management,memory-leaks,retain-cycle
Generally speaking, with manual reference counting and automatic reference counting, reference ilands will leak. Reference cycle can be composed by more than just 2 objects. That said I encourage you to test some code in a playground since the example in your question has some syntax and language errors. The...

Probably your debugger doesn't know how big buffer_buffer is, since that variable is simply declared as being a pointer to an int. (That's not correctly typed; buffer_buffer is used to hold values of buffer which is an int*, so buffer_buffer must be an array of int*, which means that you...

Fortran memory allocation does not give an error, but the program is killed by OS at initialization

It's not really a trick. It's the way that parts of Unity3D handle memory. In Unity3D you have objects that are handled by Mono and will be garbage collected, and objects that are handled by Unity, that will not be garbage collected. Strings, ints etc are cleaned up by Mono...
Is there a better way to do this than writing a wrapper allocator that stores a reference to a stateful allocator object?

The standard "Allocator" concept would have been better named "AllocatorReference." Each object either refers to a global instance (stateless) or to an external object (stateful).

Using a data pointer with CUDA (and integrated memory)
The pointer has to be created (i.e. allocated) with cudaHostAlloc, even on integrated systems like Jetson.

Ordinary allocations are subject to demand-paging, and may not be used as zero-copy...

No. Almost any physical page frame can be mapped to a userspace virtual address or a kernel virtual address, or even both at the same time....
Garbage Collector doesn't immediately collect finished thread [duplicate]
java,multithreading,memory-management,garbage-collection
Could it be that you are asking the wrong question? What I mean: is the fact that garbage collection is not happening "immediately" a problem for you? I am pretty sure - when you start another such thread that needs a lot of memory, the GC will kick in all...
Explanation of why allocating a large array results in segmentation fault in C [duplicate]
It depends where you allocated the array. If it's inside a function, then the variable is allocated on the stack, and by default, (I assume you're running linux) the stack size is 8Mb. You can find it out using ulimit -s and also modify this value, for instance ulimit -s...
C# apps using ram and cannot be cleared
Even though you are disposing of the objects, the memory will only actually be released when the Garbage Collector runs. You can force this to happen explicitly by running the following code: GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(); However, it's not recommended to do this yourself as the Garbage Collector is intended to run...
