Retain cycle with parent-child construction
ios,objective-c,memory-management,memory-leaks,retaincount
The word you are looking for is "retain cycle". The simplest retain cycle would be an object having a strong reference to itself. Very rare because it is rather pointless. The most common case is A having a strong reference to B and B having a strong reference to A....
DataTable does not release memory

Your main problem is the behavior of the Garbage Collector is different depending on if you are debugging or in release mode without a debugger present. When in a debug build or a release build with a debugger present all objects have their lifetimes extended to the entire lifetime of...
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. The reason for this is that the GPU requires (zero-copy) memory to be pinned, i.e. removed from the host demand-paging system. Ordinary allocations are subject to demand-paging, and may not be used as zero-copy...

How to free memory in C# that is allocated in C++
c#,c++,memory-management,dll,memory-leaks
You need to call the corresponding "free" method in the library you're using. Memory allocated via new is part of the C++ runtime, and calling FreeHGlobal won't work. You need to call (one way or the other) delete[] against the memory. If this is your own library then create a...
Understanding Stack, Heap and Memory Management

The sequence is correct except one point: The delete []ip; removes the memory allocated on the heap to the ip pointer. The pointer that got passed through to myFun now points to nothing. The pointer doesn't point to 'nothing' (i.e. isn't set to nullptr or 0 after freeing the memory)....
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...
nodejs decrease v8 garbage collector memory usage
node.js,memory-management,garbage-collection,v8
You need to control the max memory size flags (all sizes are taken in MB). The recommended amounts for a "low memory device" are: node --max-executable-size=96 --max-old-space-size=128 --max-semi-space-size=1 app.js for 32-bit and/or Android and node --max-executable-size=192 --max-old-space-size=256 --max-semi-space-size=2 app.js for 64-bit non-android. These would limit the heap totals to 225mb...
Memory error in set resize
In your function you are taking the pointer into to_resize, then you realloc the memory, but you never set the new pointer back to the set->state_array[slot_i], so it is lost and you keep on using the old, already freed memory space and will point outside its bounds.

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).
