Problem
Solutions: Heap: The term heap is often used by programmers to refer to the portion of memory that is available after an application has been loaded. The size of this chunk of memory may change as a program executes. It is the responsibility of the operating system to keep track of the location and size of all the free chunks of memory within the heap and whether or not they are busy. Although DOS's memory management is adequate for most needs, it is afflicted with one problem, fragmentation. This happens when a number of memory blocks have been allocated and freed in a random fashion. |
