Detection of out of memory and graceful shutdown

摘要

The method involves reserving a buffer within a block of memory, where the buffer is unavailable to an application (144 1-144-N) until released. The reserve buffer is released for use by the application upon determining that memory use by the application has reached a threshold. A warning signal is generated upon determining that the memory use by the application has reached the threshold. An independent claim is also included for a system for managing low memory on a computer device.
