If you _allocate_ memory at startup you're doing something wrong. All you should do is allocate address space. Memory should be allocated when it is needed. Growing a memory region is always hard because it means you cannot keep any addresses around and always have to reload a base pointer. That's not ideal. Especially on 64-bit machines address space really is no limitation anymore. So, allocate as much as needed, allocate memory when it's needed, and don't resize. -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖
