Sorry about posting this here, but the mail program does not seem
to like UUNET addresses.

Hi Longcheng Tsai

DDJ is the Dr. Dobb's Journal, a very good programmers journal (magazine).
It covers most languages on most machines, but does concentrate more
on C (I wonder why? -:)). Simtel has source code to most (if not all)
of their issues. Unlike some books and magazines their code does actually
work!!!. The authors always state limitations and possible improvements.
One of the most written about subjects is memory management.

Some article on memory mangement that I have:

"Encapsulating C Memory Allocation"
DDJ August 1990 V15 I8 p24
Author: Jim Schimandle
IMHO: Great, must have!!!

"Debugging Memory Allocation Errors"
DDJ August 1990 V15 I8 p80
Author: Lawrence D. Spencer
IMHO: This does not seem to be as useful as above

"A Memory Allocation Compaction System"
DDJ April 1989 V14 I4 p50
Author: Steve Peterson
IMHO: Good Idea, have not tried yet

"A Memory Controller"
DDj May 1990 V15 I5 p 58
Author: Robert A. Moeser
IMHO: Have not tried but should work nicely with the first article

"C Dynamic Memory Use"
DDJ August 1989 V14 I8 p62
Author: Randall Merilatt
IMHO: Not a bad article, but I was not thrilled with the code


I hope that this helps!
