For each allocation instruction, performing a memory allocation including linking the allocation instruction to at least one data source, generating instruction-specific context information, evaluating the data source to determine the data type, associating the data type with the context information, based on the context information, assigning the allocation instruction to the memory region assigned to the evaluated data type, and allocating memory for storing data from the data source in the assigned memory region.
