<p>AcquireCriticalMemory(): allocate a small memory request with AcquireMagickMemory(), however, on fail throw a fatal exception and exit. Free the memory reserve with RelinquishMagickMemory(). AcquireAlignedMemory(): allocate a small memory request that is aligned on a cache line. On fail, return NULL for possible recovery. Free the memory reserve with RelinquishMagickMemory(). AcquireMagickMemory()/ResizeMagickMemory(): allocate a small to medium memory request, typically with malloc()/realloc(). On fail, return NULL for possible recovery. Free the memory reserve with RelinquishMagickMemory(). AcquireQuantumMemory()/ResizeQuantumMemory(): allocate a small to medium memory request. This is a secure memory allocator as it accepts two parameters, count and quantum, to ensure the request does not overflow. It also check to ensure the request does not exceed the maximum memory per the security policy. Free the memory reserve with RelinquishMagickMemory(). AcquireVirtualMemory(): allocate a large memory request either in heap, memory-mapped, or memory-mapped on disk depending on whether heap allocation fails or if the request exceeds the maximum memory policy. Free the memory reserve with RelinquishVirtualMemory(). ResetMagickMemory(): fills the bytes of the memory area with a constant byte.</p>
<p>In addition, we provide hooks for your own memory constructor/destructors.</p>
<dt>utilize our internal custom allocator as follows</dt>
<p>Segregate our memory requirements from any program that calls our API. This should help reduce the risk of others changing our program state or causing memory corruption.</p>
<p>Our custom memory allocation manager implements a best-fit allocation policy using segregated free lists. It uses a linear distribution of size classes for lower sizes and a power of two distribution of size classes at higher sizes. It is based on the paper, "Fast Memory Allocation using Lazy Fits." written by Yoo C. Chung.</p>
<p>By default, C's standard library is used (e.g. malloc); use the custom memory allocator by defining MAGICKCORE_ANONYMOUS_MEMORY_SUPPORT to allocate memory with private anonymous mapping rather than from the heap.</p>
