This process can occur dynamically (during a program's runtime) or statically (at the time of compilation). The allocated storage is used to contain information like variables, arrays, and other data structures for temporary or long-term use.

Examples of storage allocation in a Sentence

  1. Edsger W. Dijkstra:

    The argument against recursive procedures was always an efficiency argument: non-re-entrant code could be executed so much more efficiently. But with the advent of multiprogramming another need for felxible storage allocation has emerged. And if there are still machines in which the use of recursive routines is punished by too heavy a penalty, then I would venture the opinion that the structure of such a machine should now be called somewhat old-fashioned.
