For each malloc statement, they classify the anonymous objects created into interesting and summary nodes.
(4) Storage allocation and deallocation statements for pointers, such as malloc and free in C, are regarded as pointer assignment statements.
As in [[Lambda].sup.A], malloc [r.sub.d] [[[Tau].sub.1]] ,..., [[Tau].sub.n]] allocates a fresh, uninitialized tuple in the heap and binds [r.sub.d] to the address of this tuple.
-- x = malloc[[Tau]] is mapped to malloc [r.sub.x] [[Tau]].
Our type checker verifies standard MASM assembly code in which type annotations and complex instructions such as malloc are assembly language macros.
The programmer can use compile and free_code to explicitly manage memory used for dynamic code, similarly to how one normally uses
malloc and free.
Shared memory is allocated with special versions of sbrk and
malloc. Shasta automatically makes all dynamically allocated data shared; static and stack data are not shared.
In C, the programmer must explicitly allocate and free heap memory (using
malloc and free).

Jade also provides a memory allocation construct, new_nem, that programmers can use to dynamically allocate private objects, new_men has the same calling interface as the C malloc routine, taking as a parameter the size of the allocated private object.
(3) We chose the names new_men and old_men rather than malloc and free to emphasize the semantic difference between private objects and shared objects, malloc and free allocate and free data that any part of the program can access, new_men and old_men allocate and free data that only the allocating task can access.
