c linux new使内存耗尽,Linux下C程序耗尽内存

I would like to write a program to consume all the memory available to understand the outcome. I've heard that linux starts killing the processes once it is unable to allocate the memory.

Can anyone help me with such a program.

I have written the following, but the memory doesn't seem to get exhausted:

#include

int main()

{

while(1)

{

malloc(1024*1024);

}

return 0;

}

解决方案

You should write to the allocated blocks. If you just ask for memory, linux might just hand out a reservation for memory, but nothing will be allocated until the memory is accessed.

int main()

{

while(1)

{

void *m = malloc(1024*1024);

memset(m,0,1024*1024);

}

return 0;

}

You really only need to write 1 byte on every page (4096 bytes on x86 normally) though.
