In my application I used xerces 1.3 to parse a 39 MB XML message and sotre it
in a DOM. I used "libefence" both on Linux and AIX 4.3.2 to check for memory
errors. If I protect freed memory blocks from beeing reused again I get out of
memory. My hard limits were:
- Linux 1.0 GB allocatable memory (RAM and swap)
- AIX 1.5 GB hard coded with -bmaxdata when linking (there was enough RAM 2GB)
=> There are a very lot of calls to malloc/new. Since malloc/new are generally
no very cheap.
