Resources for memory management in embedded application

Question

How should I manage memory in my mission critical embedded application?

I found some articles with google, but couldn\'t pinpoint a really useful practical guide.

Answer 1

Allocating everything from stack is commonly done in embedded systems or elsewhere where the possibility of an allocation failing is unacceptable. I don't know what DO-178b is, but if the problem is that malloc is not available on your platform, you can also implement it yourself (implementing your own heap), but this still may lead to an allocation failing when you run out of space, of course.
