Bookcase Analogy Book Heap Vol 1 Vol 2 Vol 3 D D M M M M C C C M* C D = Dictionary M = Math book C = Chemistry book E = ECE book M* = Pointer to Math book Vol 1 Vol 2 Vol 3 Vol 4 E E E M*M* E E E E Consider what happens if we run out of space in our bookcase We might create a of books next to the bookcase; this is a completely different space to store books with different mechanisms for adding and removing books The is a little less organized compared to the bookcase We use rolled up pieces of paper on the bookcase to point to various books in the 2
3 Let s revisit an example we saw in a previous topic Assume we wish to refactor appending a node to a chain into its own function 01 #include <stddef.h> typedef struct _node_t 04 { 05 int value; 06 struct _node_t* next_ptr; 07 } 08 node_t; node_t* append( node_t* n_ptr, 11 int value ) 12 { 13 node_t node; 14 node.value = value; 15 node.next_ptr = n_ptr; 16 return &node; 17 } int main( void ) 20 { 21 node_t* n_ptr = NULL; 22 n_ptr = append( n_ptr, 3 ); 23 n_ptr = append( n_ptr, 4 ); 24 n_ptr = append( n_ptr, 5 ); 25 return 0; 26 } 3
4 01 #include <stdlib.h> 02 #include <stddef.h> int* rand_array( size_t n ) 05 { 06 int a[n]; 07 for ( size_t i=0; i<n; i++ ) 08 a[i] = rand() % 100; 09 return a; 10 } int main( void ) 13 { 14 int* a = rand_array(3); 15 return 0; 16 } 4
5 Dynamic memory allocation uses the (new region of memory) Because dynamically allocated variables are not on a function s frame, they are not deallocated when a function returns We can dynamically allocate variables on the using malloc malloc is defined in stdlib.h malloc takes the number of bytes to allocate as a parameter and returns a pointer to the new variable allocated on the 01 int* a_ptr = 02 malloc( sizeof(int) ); *a_ptr = 42; int* b_ptr = 07 malloc( 4 * sizeof(int) ); b_ptr[0] = 1; 10 b_ptr[1] = 2; 11 b_ptr[2] = 3; 12 b_ptr[3] = 4; // typedef struct 15 // { 16 // double real; 17 // double imag; 18 // } 19 // complex_t; complex_t* complex_ptr = 22 malloc( sizeof(complex_t) ); complex_ptr->real = 1.5; 25 complex_ptr->imag = 3.5; 5
6 01 #include <stdlib.h> 02 #include <stddef.h> typedef struct _node_t 05 { 06 int value; 07 struct _node_t* next_ptr; 08 } 09 node_t; node_t* append( node_t* n_ptr, 12 int value ) 13 { 14 node_t* new_ptr = 15 malloc( sizeof(node_t) ); new_ptr->value = value; 18 new_ptr->next_ptr = n_ptr; 19 return new_ptr; 20 } int main( void ) 23 { 24 node_t* n_ptr = NULL; 25 n_ptr = append( n_ptr, 3 ); 26 n_ptr = append( n_ptr, 4 ); 27 n_ptr = append( n_ptr, 5 ); 28 return 0; 29 } 6
7 01 #include <stdlib.h> 02 #include <stddef.h> int* rand_array( size_t n ) 05 { 06 int* x = 07 malloc( n * sizeof(int) ); for ( size_t i=0; i<n; i++ ) 10 x[i] = rand() % 100; return x; 13 } int main( void ) 16 { 17 int* a = rand_array(3); 18 return 0; 19 } 7
8 3. Using free to Deallocate Memory What happens if we call rand_array multiple times? What happens if we reuse the pointer to the result? 01 #include <stdlib.h> 02 #include <stddef.h> int* rand_array( size_t n ) 05 { 06 int* x = 07 malloc( n * sizeof(int) ); for ( size_t i=0; i<n; i++ ) 10 x[i] = rand() % 100; return x; 13 } int main( void ) 16 { 17 int* a = rand_array(3); 18 a = rand_array(3); 19 return 0; 20 } 8
9 Memory leaks can cause programs to crash Every call to malloc must eventually correspond to a call to free free is defined in stdlib.h free takes a pointer to a dynamically allocated variable 01 #include <stdlib.h> 02 #include <stddef.h> int* rand_array( size_t n ) 05 { 06 int* x = 07 malloc( n * sizeof(int) ); for ( size_t i=0; i<n; i++ ) 10 x[i] = rand() % 100; return x; 13 } int main( void ) 16 { 17 int* a = rand_array(3); 18 free(a); 19 a = rand_array(3); 20 free(a); 21 return 0; 22 } 9
10 4. Mapping Conceptual Storage to Machine Memory 4. Mapping Conceptual Storage to Machine Memory 01 int main( void ) 02 { 03 char a[] = "foo"; 04 const char* b = "bar"; 05 char* c = 06 malloc( 4 * sizeof(char) ); 07 strcpy( c, a ); 08 free(c); 09 return 0; 10 } Memory (4B word addr) static data 10

More informationAt this time we have all the pieces necessary to allocate memory for an array dynamically. Following our example, we allocate N integers as follows:
Pointers and Arrays Part II We will continue with our discussion on the relationship between pointers and arrays, and in particular, discuss how arrays with dynamical length can be created at run-time
