This lecture covers memory management in programming, focusing on the allocation and deallocation of memory blocks. Topics include explicit and implicit deallocation, garbage collection techniques like reference counting and mark & sweep, memory fragmentation issues, and the implementation details of memory managers. The lecture also discusses the challenges of cyclic structures in memory management and the trade-offs between different garbage collection strategies.
