A client need only know how to invoke object methods in order to manage object life cycle; thus, the client is completely abstracted from whatever memory allocator the implementation of the COM object uses.
As a typical example, a Visual Basic program using a COM object is agnostic towards whether that object was allocated (and must later be deallocated) by a C++ allocator or another Visual Basic component.
Our algorithm utilises pseudo-random search over the interactions with the allocator which may be triggered via a target application.
Open addressing avoids the time overhead of allocating each new entry record, and can be implemented even in the absence of a memory allocator.
Shake works by allocating space for the whole file as one operation, which will generally cause the allocator to find contiguous disk space.
