Noun[edit]
suballocator (plural suballocators)
- (chiefly computing) One who or that which suballocates.
- 1995, Charles Calvert, Teach Yourself Windows 95 Programming in 21 Days, page 1170:
- As a result, many compilers automatically allocate blocks of memory and then parcel chunks out to programs with a suballocator when needed. That is, the compiler allocates a chunk of some 4,000 bytes and then parcels this memory out to you in bits and pieces when you need it.
