This topic addresses the special memory-management procedures for the oMiser representation of Obs and structures that accompany the computational model. The general requirement is for the MOb dictionary storage and the allocation (and release) of ob-cells in the course of computations. There is also a supporting requirement for oFrugal dynamic allocations as part of applicative-expression parsing and evaluation.

1. Short-Lived Dynamic/Stack Allocations

A special usage is related to dynamically-created ob-cells, their storage, and their generational management and consolidation: garbage-collection, in which the run-time procedure stack is to be used as heap-0 for the rapid creation and disposal of short-lived objects.

The generational management also works in preserving longer-lived objects that also arise on the run-time stack and in other heaps. There need to be aging schemes by which one can readily determine what ob-cells in any heap need to be preserved in an older generation as part of clearing a younger one.

2. The MOb and Indefinite Preservation

In general, the ultimate lifecycle case is when an ob-cell and the ob structure it is the apex for is tied into the MOb directory, making the ob long-lived.

There are interdependencies/interactions between MOb, ob-cells, the connection of companion materials (accelerators or synthetic definitions) and the life-cycle management and garbage-collection/generation-handling of dynamically generated, moved, and destroyed materials.

The dynamic, linear-hashing growth of the MOb is also part of the required memory-management scheme.

3. oFrugal Prospects

The parsing and mindelay-scan-doing of oFrugal expressions also requires some push-down stack arrangements that will be carrying ob-cell interfaces as the lexical and (priority-based) syntactic parsing progresses.

At the moment, this is a placeholder for the introduction of approaches for the various cases.
