When to use Malloc?

Hi! I hope this is the correct forum to post the question even if I'm a newbie... I am a C-newbie (and really on the edge to be a C-addict ;) ) and have a question. When should I use malloc? To state it differently, when should I NOT use malloc? For instance, if I have an array of...

Malloc Implementation in C

Hey Guys Some of my friends have got together and we are trying to write a basic kernel similar to Linux. I am trying to implement the malloc function in C and I am using a doubly linked list as the primary data structure. I need to allocate memory for this link list (duh...) and I don't feel...

malloc vs realloc

Why when using realloc, john is reversed 3 times but not the other 2 names ? But if I use malloc, then the 3 names are reversed correctly ? (but then there is a memory leak) How can I reverse all 3 names without a memory leak ? char *BUFFER = NULL; char *STRREVERSE(const char *STRING) {...

malloc vs new speed

Which one is faster among malloc and new? My understanding is that since new also has to call constructors after allocating memory it must be slower than malloc. Am I correct?

RDSALLOC(3)						      RDS PHYSICAL FUNCTIONS						       RDSALLOC(3)

NAME

	rdsalloc - memory allocation function

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

SYNOPSYS

	#include "rdsnnn.h"
	  char *rdsalloc( Size, Heap )
	    unsigned int Size;
	    char	 Heap;

PARAMETER

       Size		   memory size to allocate

       Heap		   takes the values RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK or RDS_ALLOC_HEAP (two defined constants).

DESCRIPTION

       The rdsalloc function can do memory allocation by block or by heap. If the user wants to allocate by block, he sets the parameter  Heap	to
       the  constant  RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK else, he wants to allocate by heap so the parameter Heap is set to RDS_ALLOC_HEAP.  If rdsalloc is used with
       the constant RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK then rdsalloc is used as standard language C function malloc().  If the user allocates by heap then :  At  the
       first allocation of the block of size the parameter 'Size', a heap of size multiple of the block Size is allocated. When another allocation
       of the same size is done then if the the heap isn't full then a pointer (of size='Size') is returned else a new heap  is  allocated  and  a
       pointer	returned. Like this, the user does really one allocation (he has many pointers) to minimize fragmentation. Heap allocation is use-
       full if the user has to allocate many pointers of the same size (ex: rdsrec_list structure).

       Note: Memory place allocated is set to NULL.

RETURN VALUE

       pointer to the allocated memory is returned.

ERRORS

       "Rds202: rdsalloc error, can't continue !"
	      it's impossible to allocate the memory size desired.

EXAMPLE

	     #include "rdsnnn.h"
	  main()
	   {
	      rdsrec_list *Rectangle;
	      rdsfig_list *Figure;
	    Rectangle =
		 (rdsrec_list *) rdsalloc (sizeof(rdsrec_list *),RDS_ALLOC_HEAP);
	    Figure    =
		 (rdsfig_list *) rdsalloc (sizeof(rdsfig_list *),RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK);
	   }
