Is there any function like malloc and free in labview?

Question

Im writing a vi that will handle my memory request.
Im doing a very high speed video record sessions , and the frames cant be saves on hardisk in realtime), so im saving the frames on memory, and i want to use memory as
much as i can(~2GB) and to save the maximum frames that i can save (and it depends on bit depth, height, width, total memory).
VI Operations={
Allocate Memory (frame width, frame height,TotalMemorySize) ,
Add Frame(index) ,
Get Frame (index),
Free Memory
In each record session, there will be a different FrameWidth and Height, so the maximum frame that i can save in memory may be different and equal to
IndexMax=TotalMemorySize/(FrameWidth*FrameHeight)
Im doing this by allocating a 3D array [FrameIndex , row , column]
The fact that the width and height change in different sessions indicate  that i need an ability to free the previous allocated 3D array memory and allocate a new one.
(lets say that i have 2GB total memory..)

This request really takes the system and the programmer to the limits....
First of all:
LabVIEW does not have any functions like malloc and free. LV wants to prevent the user to have to think about stuff like this. On the other hand, the memory management in LV is therefore hard to do or even impossible, at least to such an extend as you request.
Some thoughts about your application:
1. If you want to have about 2GB of framedata in RAM during runtime, you will need the large memory awareness active. Otherwise, a 32 bit OS will give you "out of memory" messages. Refer to the LV help "VI memory usage".
2. Storing the data in an array could be a difficult task. Arrays have to be in memory without any gap. Therefore, you'd encounter "out of memory" messages even if your RAM totals enough free memory (theoretical).
3. The idea of linked-lists does not compy in LV since you cannot store pointers to structs (since those are abstracted from the user).
4. Maybe you should take a look into vision.
