There are two ways to handle memory for the application: a) get by request, the normal way, b) grab a chunk at the beginning and handle it during operation.
A very basic decision to do at the very beginning of a project.
The article is from 1993. Those were the days when 4 MB RAM was a lot. What do do when dealing with audio or video? on a machine with only 1 MB?
This article is the resolution: Build up your own management for the memory.
Ughh. Brrr.
We now have 512 MB or more. Bye, bye, own memory management.
No, it is not more important today. The OS does it better then you can program it yourself. At least one good thing to say about it.
Happy pulsaring
