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?

NAME

       relup - Release upgrade file

DESCRIPTION

       The release upgrade file describes how a release is upgraded in a running system.

       This file is automatically generated by systools:make_relup/3,4 , using a release resource file ( .rel ), application resource files ( .app
       ) and application upgrade files ( .appup ) as input.

FILE SYNTAX

       In a target system, the release upgrade file should be located in the OTP_ROOT/erts-EVsn/Vsn directory.

       The relup file contains one single Erlang term, which defines the instructions used to upgrade the release. The file has the following syn-
       tax:

       {Vsn,
	 [{UpFromVsn, Descr, Instructions}, ...],
	 [{DownToVsn, Descr, Instructions}, ...]}.

	 * Vsn = string() is the current version of the release.

	 * UpFromVsn = string() is an earlier version of the release to upgrade from.

	 * Descr  =  term()  is  a user defined parameter passed from the systools:make_relup/3,4 function. It will be used in the return value of
	   release_handler:install_release/1,2 .

	 * Instructions is a list of low-level release upgrade instructions, see appup(5) .

	   It consists of the release upgrade instructions from the respective application upgrade files (high-level instructions  are	translated
	   to low-level instructions), in the same order as in the start script.

	 * DownToVsn = string() is an earlier version of the release to downgrade to.

       When  upgrading	from  UpFromVsn  with  release_handler:install_release/1,2  ,  there  does  not have to be an exact match of versions, but
       UpFromVsn can be a sub-string of the current release version.
