Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Type-Stable Memory Management refers to the concept of maintaining type between memory allocation and deallocation. This idea is extremely useful in constructing non-blocking synchronization algorithms. The below image describes an algorithm detailing the use of type-stable memory (TSM) allocation for the implementation of a non-blocking link-list modification. Without the use of type-stable memory, the pointer p may incorrectly point to something of a different type. In languages like C or C++, an invalid pointer may cause all sorts of undefined behavior. The use of TSM has greatly simplified the construction of such an algorithm.
