Abstract
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention optimize allocation of items to a stack memory instead of a heap memory. It is determined whether an item to be placed on the heap memory escapes from the scope of the item's allocator, and whether the item survives the item's allocator. The item is allocated to the stack memory responsive to the item not escaping from the scope of the item's allocator and not surviving the item's allocator.
