The ashmem subsystem is a new shared memory allocator, similar to
|
|
|
POSIX SHM but with different behavior and sporting a simpler
|
|
|
file-based API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ It is, in theory, a good memory allocator for low-memory devices,
|
|
|
+ because it can discard shared memory units when under memory pressure.

|

|
|
|
+ much overhead in the system.
