> Allocate in advance, reuse allocated memory.
In practice, almost all real-time systems use this strategy, even going so far as to allocate all memory at compile time. The first versions of Virgil (I and II) used this strategy and compiled to C.
When doing this, the whole debate of memory safe (automatic) vs unsafe (manual) is completely orthogonal.
