·
Module 5
Dynamic Memory Allocation Strategies
Dynamic Memory Management in C
Use `malloc`, `calloc`, `realloc`, and `free` correctly and explain the differences between them.
2
Contiguous 2D Array Allocation and Pointer Arithmetic
Dynamically allocate and free a 2D array as a single contiguous block of memory and explain the pointer arithmetic needed for access.
3
Dynamic 2D Arrays: Pointers vs. Contiguous
Dynamically allocate and free a 2D array using an array of pointers to separately allocated rows, and contrast this with the contiguous method.
4
Common Dynamic Memory Errors: Leaks, Double Free, and Use-After-Free
Identify and explain common dynamic memory bugs: memory leaks, double frees, and use-after-free errors.
5
Memory Fragmentation and MISRA: Why Dynamic Allocation is Restricted
Explain memory fragmentation and why automotive standards like MISRA often forbid or restrict dynamic allocation.
