Hi,

Just wondering if somebody could point me to a good document on how the heap reclamation algorithm works for memory allocated in a user space program using the regular malloc/calloc functions. I am specifically interested in how effective it is in reclaiming memory. E.g., does it only reclaim from top of heap or does it reclaim from the complete heap? Are there multiple options for reclamation algorithms? Etc.

Thank you: Magnus
