malloc |
1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: malloc {C}'s standard library routine for storage allocation. It takes the number of bytes required and returns a pointer to a block of that size. Storage is allocated from a heap which lies after the end of the program and data areas. Memory allocated with malloc must be freed explicitly using the free" routine before it can be re-used. {gc} is a storage allocator with {garbage collection} that is intended to be used as a plug-in replacement for malloc.
