Re^2: How can I make my program occupying a lot of memory (sic!)?

Hmm, no, I've made a mistake. It uses an extra 1 GiB as free -m says. Anyways, thanks for the code :) Now I know that I cannot execute fork()-s from heavy programs.

It uses an extra 1 GiB as free -m says. I don't use *nix, but I think that the tool you are using is giving you bad info. AFAIK: That memory will not be cloned unless the forked child accesses it. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
