Notes

• So it turns out it is not possible to invade a lot of memory with just plain integer array because of stack size limitation. So gotta use malloc.

• If one doesn’t touch the memory after allocating with malloc, the os doesn’t actually seem to allocate the memory.

• There is some kind of limitation how much memory a process can consume. The process Segmentation fault after 2048M even though there is more free memory left.

Tip

htop is much easier and convenient than free or top to keep track of memory.
