Memory allocation with no swap
-
Hello! I'm working on an application where a binary file must be loaded and should be kept in memory during all execution. I guess that keeping data in physical memory and avoid memory swap on virtual memory is not possible. Is it a way to keep the whole address space that concerns my application in physical memory? Thank you for any information ! Frédéric. C++/MFC/SQL developer.
