Regarding the maximum memory allocated by malloc() function on HP-UX B11.11

In a 'C' program,when I am trying to allocate memory with the help of malloc () function, it is allocating the memory up to a certain limit for e.g. in my case, it is 670 MB (approx). malloc() returns NULL if I allocate more than this amount of memory.When I tried to allocate memory in chunks of...

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?

_edata

end(3C) 						   Standard C Library Functions 						   end(3C)

NAME

       end, _end, etext, _etext, edata, _edata - last locations in program

SYNOPSIS

       extern int _etext;

       extern int _edata;

       extern int _end;

DESCRIPTION

       These names refer neither to routines nor to locations with interesting contents; only their addresses are meaningful.

       _etext	 The address of _etext is the first location after the last read-only loadable segment.

       _edata	 The address of _edata is the first location after the last read-write loadable segement.

       _end	 If the address of _edata is greater than the address of _etext, the address of _end is same as the address of _edata.

		 If the address of _etext is greater than the address of _edata, the address of _end is set to the page boundary after the address
		 pointed to by _etext.

USAGE

       When execution begins, the program break (the first location beyond the data) coincides with _end, but the program break can  be  reset	by
       the  brk(2), malloc(3C), and the standard input/output library (see stdio(3C)), functions by the profile (-p) option of	cc(1B), and so on.
       Thus, the current value of the program break should be determined by sbrk ((char *)0).

       References to end, etext, and edata, without a preceding underscore will be aliased to the associated symbol that begins  with  the  under-
       score.
