Allocation in the LOA

The size of the request determines where the object is allocated.

When allocating an object, the allocation is first attempted in the Small Object Area (SOA). If it is not possible to find a free entry of sufficient size to satisfy the allocation, and the size of the request is equal to or greater than 64 KB, the allocation is tried in the LOA again. If the size of the request is less than 64 KB or insufficient contiguous space exists in the LOA, an allocation failure is triggered.
