Hello! First of all, forgive me for bad English. When I starts new thread (pthread_create), system allocates some memory for it (for example, for thread's stack). I wonder when does it deallocate this memory? The problem is that I have a program which sometimes creates new threads and sometimes...

HP-UX memory usage allocation

Hi all, I have a HP-UX Server with 4 gigabytes of physical RAM. When I use the 'Glance' utility to see what my memory utilization is, my memory usage shows up maxed out at 99%. I shut off all the known processes that I'm running on that box and the memory utilization is still at 78% (with Swap...

Dynamic memory allocation

Hi, I am trying to process line by line of a file. But I should not be allocating static allocation for reading the contents of the file. The memory should be dynamically allocated. The confusion here is how do I determine the size of each line, put it into a buffer with the memory allocated...

Dynamic Memory Allocation

Hello Guys I have a small confusion in the dynamic memory allocation concept. If we declare a pointer say a char pointer, we need to allocate adequate memory space. char* str = (char*)malloc(20*sizeof(char)); str = "This is a string"; But this will also work. char* str = "This...

tiffmemcmp

MEMORY(3T)																MEMORY(3T)

NAME

       _TIFFmalloc, _TIFFrealloc, _TIFFfree, _TIFFmemset, _TIFFmemcpy, _TIFFmemcmp, - memory management-related functions for use with TIFF files

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>
       tdata_t _TIFFmalloc(tsize_t);
       tdata_t _TIFFrealloc(tdata_t, tsize_t);
       void _TIFFfree(tdata_t);
       void _TIFFmemset(tdata_t, int, tsize_t);
       void _TIFFmemcpy(tdata_t, const tdata_t, tsize_t);
       int _TIFFmemcmp(const tdata_t, const tdata_t, tsize_t);

DESCRIPTION

       These  routines are provided for writing portable software that uses libtiff; they hide any memory-management related issues, such as deal-
       ing with segmented architectures found on 16-bit machines.

       _TIFFmalloc and _TIFFrealloc are used to dynamically allocate and reallocate memory used by libtiff; such as memory  passed  into  the  I/O
       routines.  Memory allocated through these interfaces is released back to the system using the _TIFFfree routine.

       Memory allocated through one of the above interfaces can be set to a known value using _TIFFmemset, copied to another memory location using
       _TIFFmemcpy, or compared for equality using _TIFFmemcmp.  These routines conform to the equivalent ANSI C  routines:  memset,  memcpy,  and
       memcmp, repsectively.

DIAGNOSTICS

       None.
