A swap file is a disk space used when RAM is full, allowing virtual memory systems to manage memory effectively. It aids performance but can impact speed, especially under memory pressure.
Read More What is a Swap File and How does It WorkDynamic memory allocation functions like malloc(), calloc(), realloc(), and free() are crucial in programming. The improved version, dlmalloc(), is widely adopted due to its efficiency. When called, these functions trigger system calls like brk()/sbrk() and mmap() to allocate memory. Understanding these processes is essential for efficient memory management in programming.
