Hi ! I have a question on memory management in FreeBSD . suppose i write a bogus piece of software which just allocates about 5 Mb of memory without freeing it later . if i run this software 10 times then I have allocated totally about 50 Mb of available memory. (but not at once) my question is : if a dumb person like me forget to free the allocated memory dedicated to this piece of code , how does the system (after the end of execution ) knows that those memory areas that this software used is free to reuse ? thanx for any suggestion :-) /kave ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
