Abstract
A method and a system of memory management using stack walking. The method of managing memory in a computer system includes identifying compiled code to be deleted, examining the return addresses of the frames in the stack, determining whether any of the return address of the frames are in the range of addresses of the compiled code to be deleted, and if they are, then altering the contents of the frame determined to have a return address in the range of addresses of the compiled code to be deleted.
