Memory management method and computer using the method

A computer comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory area allocated by a program having at least one thread including object data which is executed by said processor, said memory area storing said object data in association with execution of the at least one thread and said memory area being released,
• wherein said processor checks whether object data necessary for subsequent execution of the at least one thread exists in the memory area to be released, in response to an instruction to release the memory area,
• wherein said processor releases the memory area if the object data necessary for subsequent execution of the at least one thread does not exist in the memory area, and
• wherein said processor moves the object data that is necessary for subsequent execution of the at least one thread to a memory area different from the memory area to be released if the object data that is necessary for subsequent execution of the at least one thread exists in the memory area to be released as a result of the check, and releases the memory area.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing executable computer program code which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a memory management method comprising the steps of:

• allocating a memory area in a computer by a program which is executed by a processor in the computer;
• storing data in the memory area in accordance with execution of the program;
• checking whether or not data necessary for subsequent execution of the program exists in the memory area to be released, in response to an instruction by the program to release the memory area;
• releasing the memory area if data necessary for subsequent execution of the program does not exist in the memory area as a result of the check;
• and
• moving the object data that is necessary for subsequent execution of the at least one thread to a memory area different from the memory area to be released if the object data that is necessary for subsequent execution of the at least one thread exists in the memory area to be released as a result of the check, and releasing the memory area.
