malloc

http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html

in making his array for the segmented bins, he makes bins for 8 - 512 using multiples of 8 (so 63 bins, but only the last 62 are ever used). how does he determine the size for the remaining 63 bins? He mentions they are logarithmically spaced, but is there some sort of equation he used to do that optimally?

I'm currently helping a friend debug a program of his, which includes linked lists. His list structure is pretty simple: typedef struct nodo{ int cantUnos; char* numBin; struct nodo* sig; }Nodo; We've got the following code snippet: void insNodo(Nodo** lista, char* auxBin, int auxCantUnos){ … >>> More

Hello, I am playing around with multidimensional array of unequal second dimension size. Lets assume that I need the following data structure: [&ptr0]-[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] [&ptr1]-[0][1][2] [&ptr2]-[0][1][2][3][4] int main() { int *a[3]; int *b; int i; a[0] = (int *)malloc(10… >>> More

I trying to allocate memory for 10 bytes BYTE* tmp; tmp = new BYTE[10]; //or tmp = (BYTE*)malloc(10*sizeof(BYTE)); But after new or malloc operation length of *tmp more than 10 (i.e. '\0' char not in 10 position in tmp array) Why? >>> More

Hi all, I just started out with C and have very little knowledge about performance issues with malloc() and free(). My question is as such: if I were to call malloc() followed by free() in a while-loop that loops for, say, 20 times, would it run slower compared to if I were to call free() outside… >>> More

I am a beginner in C. While reading git's source code, I found this wrapper function around malloc. void *xmalloc(size_t size) { void *ret = malloc(size); if (!ret && !size) ret = malloc(1); if (!ret) { release_pack_memory(size, -1); ret = malloc(size); … >>> More
