Types of Memory

There are two types of memory:

  1. Regular memory

    Most programs use regular memory. This is the type provided by the default runtime heap.

  2. Shared memory

    Heaps of shared memory can be shared between processes or applications. If you want other processes to use the heaps you have created, you must pass them the heap handle and give them access to the heap. Use _ucreate to create the heap.
