Abstract
A memory buffer with a set of one or more structures is created by a process of a first software program. The first memory buffer comprises a predetermined amount of memory. It is determined that a structure of the set of one or more structures has been or will be consumed by a second software program that supports the first software program. The consumption of the structure of the set of one or more structures indicates that memory associated with the structure of the set of one or more structures is being reclaimed. In response to the determination that the structure of the set of one or more structures has been or will be consumed, data is written from a first location to a second location. The first location is in memory allocated to the first software program and the second location is indicated for data storage.
