malloc gives the same memory to two different nodes. How to deal with it?
When allocating memory for two different nodes, the resulting memory are the same. Clearly, this will lead to a mistake. This happened in a function. And the process must be in a function.
(gdb) p tree->list[9]
$43 = (node *) 0x8be4180
(gdb) p tree->list[10]
$44 = (node *) 0x8be4180
At the beginning, it is correct. list[0] to list[8] is allocated properly. But it can not work well in list[9]

Hi,
I'm trying to learn how to manage memory when I have to deal with lots of data.
Basically I'm indexing a huge file (5GB, but it can be bigger), by creating tables that

Actually for a process to run it needs text, stack , heap and data segments. All these find a place in the physical memory.

Hi All,
I have a simple code which does some computation by matching string patterns.
In brief:
1. The code reads .dat and .txt files.

reallocf
MALLOC(3) BSD Library Functions Manual MALLOC(3)
NAME
reallocf -- general purpose memory allocation functions
LIBRARY
Utility functions from BSD systems (libbsd, -lbsd)
SYNOPSIS
#include <bsd/stdlib.h>
void *
reallocf(void *ptr, size_t size);
DESCRIPTION
The reallocf() function changes the size of the previously allocated memory referenced by ptr to size bytes. The contents of the memory are
unchanged up to the lesser of the new and old sizes. If the new size is larger, the contents of the newly allocated portion of the memory
are undefined. Upon success, the memory referenced by ptr is freed and a pointer to the newly allocated memory is returned. Note that
reallocf() may move the memory allocation, resulting in a different return value than ptr. If ptr is NULL, the reallocf() function behaves
identically to malloc() for the specified size. Upon failure, when the requested memory cannot be allocated, the passed pointer is freed to
ease the problems with traditional coding styles for reallocf() causing memory leaks in libraries.
RETURN VALUES
The reallocf() function returns a pointer, possibly identical to ptr, to the allocated memory if successful; otherwise a NULL pointer is
returned, and errno is set to ENOMEM if the error was the result of an allocation failure. The buffer is deallocated in this case.
SEE ALSO
brk(2), mmap(2), alloca(3), calloc(3), free(3), malloc(3), posix_memalign(3), realloc(3),
HISTORY
The reallocf() function first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.
