Hello
This is a simple program i carried out in my machine
i dont know how it is working
#include<alloc.h>
#include<stdio.h>
mian()
{
int *p,j;
p= (int*)malloc(1);
for(j=1;j<=580;j++)
{
*p=j;
++p;
}
p=p-580;
for(j=1;j<=580;j++)
{
printf("%d",*p);

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
$43 = (node *) 0x8be4180
(gdb) p tree->list
$44 = (node *) 0x8be4180

We just set up a system to use large pages. I want to know if there is a command to see how much of the memory is being used for large pages. For example if we have a system with 8GB of RAm assigned and it has been set to use 4GB for large pages is there a command to show that 4GB of the *GB is... (1 Reply)
Actually for a process to run it needs text, stack , heap and data segments. All these find a place in the physical memory.
Out of these 4 only heap does exist after the termination of the process that created it. I want to know the exact reason why this happens. Also why the other process need to... (20 Replies)
Hi,
Am new to HP UX , is there a way to find out the size of memory allocated to a pointer on hp ux?
For example we can use the _msize() on windows to find the size of memory allocated to a pointer .
#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
void main()

void *buffer; ... (0 Replies)
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.
2. .dat files are huge text files and .txt files contain some important words.
3. I am just doing strstr to find the patterns.
4. The function returns the... (3 Replies)
Hi All,
I am using malloc function for allocating dynamic memory.
When I am using below code on Linux server its working fine, but When I am trying the same code on HP UNIX server its returning NULL.
below is a fragment of code in which it is giving problem.

So we have a RHEL 7.6 workstation with 128 gigs of ram. The OS sees all the ram and 80 cors (40 HT)
We have 1 guest with 8 CPUs and 32gigs of ram running RHEL 7.6 workstation as well. We are trying to create another guest with 64 CPUs and 80 gigs of ram. We setup the system using... (0 Replies)
Hello,
I am running ubuntu 14.04 in a server with 32GB ram.
Due to receiving "high load" errors during ssh connection, I took a look at what's happening from command line. I detected that 20GB of total memory was allocated to a program.
Below you can see some initial part of installation... (4 Replies)

bsdmalloc(3MALLOC)bsdmalloc(3MALLOC)NAME
bsdmalloc - memory allocator
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lbsdmalloc [ library ... ]
char *malloc(size);
unsigned size;
int free( ptr);
char *ptr;
char *realloc( ptr, size);
char *ptr;
unsigned size;
These routines provide a general-purpose memory allocation package. They maintain a table of free blocks for efficient allocation and coa-
lescing of free storage. When there is no suitable space already free, the allocation routines call sbrk(2) to get more memory from the
system. Each of the allocation routines returns a pointer to space suitably aligned for storage of any type of object. Each returns a
null pointer if the request cannot be completed.
The malloc() function returns a pointer to a block of at least size bytes, which is appropriately aligned.
The free() function releases a previously allocated block. Its argument is a pointer to a block previously allocated by malloc() or real-
loc(). The free() function does not set errno.
The realloc() function changes the size of the block pointed to by ptr to size bytes and returns a pointer to the (possibly moved) block.
The contents will be unchanged up to the lesser of the new and old sizes. If the new size of the block requires movement of the block, the
space for the previous instantiation of the block is freed. If the new size is larger, the contents of the newly allocated portion of the
block are unspecified. If ptr is NULL, realloc() behaves like malloc() for the specified size. If size is 0 and ptr is not a null pointer,
the space pointed to is freed.
The malloc() and realloc() functions return a null pointer if there is not enough available memory. They return a non-null pointer if size
is 0. These pointers should not be dereferenced. When realloc() returns NULL, the block pointed to by ptr is left intact. Always cast the
value returned by malloc() and realloc().
If malloc() or realloc() returns unsuccessfully, errno will be set to indicate the following:
ENOMEM size bytes of memory cannot be allocated because it exceeds the physical limits of the system.
EAGAIN There is not enough memory available at this point in time to allocate size bytes of memory; but the application could try
again later.
Using realloc() with a block freed before the most recent call to malloc() or realloc() results in an error.
Comparative features of the various allocation libraries can be found in the umem_alloc(3MALLOC) manual page.

Use of libbsdmalloc renders an application non-SCD compliant.
The libbsdmalloc routines are incompatible with the memory allocation routines in the standard C-library (libc): malloc(3C), alloca(3C),
calloc(3C), free(3C), memalign(3C), realloc(3C), and valloc(3C).
