Abstract: A method to facilitate memory allocation includes examining an executable program file configured to be executed by a processor to identify a group of functions present within the executable program file, and calculating memory requirements for each function of the group of functions. Further operations include identifying a plurality of root functions as functions which are not referred to by other functions, creating a function call tree for each of the plurality of root functions, such that each of the function call trees comprise functions which are directly or indirectly referred to by an associated one of the plurality of root functions, and calculating memory requirements for one or more function call paths of each of the function call trees based upon the calculated memory requirements of the functions included within the one or more function call paths.
