1,有这么一个问题,下面这段程序执行完毕后,malloc的内存会释放吗?
int main () {
int *p = malloc(10 * sizeof *p);
*p = 42;
return 0; //Exiting without freeing the allocated memory
}
这段程序运行完后,p 申请的malloc地址会被释放掉吗? 会的。
The Linux Programming Interface书中有这么一段:
When a process terminates, all of its memory is returned to the system, including heap memory allocated by functions in the malloc package. In programs that allocate memory and continue using it until program termination, it is common to omit calls to free(), relying on this behavior to automatically free the memory. This can be especially useful in programs that allocate many blocks of memory, since adding multiple calls to free() could be expensive in terms of CPU time, as well as perhaps being complicated to code.
2,分析
每一个进程都运行在一个独立的4GB“地址空间”当中
这个4G只是逻辑上的,物理内存不可能有这么多,
