Lecture

Dynamic Memory Management and Dynamic Dispatch

Description

This lecture covers the different types of memory in compiled programs, such as program data, registers, stack, and dynamic heap. It delves into memory safety issues, automated memory management techniques like reference counting, and compiler support for garbage collection. The lecture also explains garbage collection algorithms, including mark and sweep, copying collector, and generational collector. Furthermore, it discusses dynamic dispatch, object-oriented languages, higher-order functions, and the implementation of dynamic dispatch using virtual method tables and first-class functions as objects.
