be required to keep this memory on the correct list (or on
no list at all).
Updated 2016-06-25:
For processors with an MMU (Memory Management Unit), NuttX can be
built in a kernel mode. In that case, each process will have a
local copy of its heap (filled with sbrk()) and when the process
exits, its local heap will be destroyed and the underlying page
memory is recovered.
So in this case, NuttX work just link Linux or or *nix systems:
All memory allocated by processes or threads in processes will
be recovered when the process exists.
But not for the flat memory build. In that case, the issues
above do apply. There is no safe way to recover the memory in
that case (and even if there were, the additional overhead would
not be acceptable on most platforms).
This does not prohibit anyone from creating a wrapper for malloc()
and an atexit() callback that frees memory on task exit. People
are free and, in fact, encouraged, to do that. However, since
it is inherently unsafe, I would never incorporate anything
like that into NuttX.
Status: Open. No changes are planned.
Priority: Medium/Low, a good feature to prevent memory leaks but would
have negative impact on memory usage and code size.
