Abstract: If it is determined in step S51 that allocation for an instruction part has been requested and it is determined in step S52 that a memory use amount of an instruction part of an allocation target program exceeds an upper limit, a memory area that is being used by the instruction part of the allocation target program is released in step S53 and memory allocation for the instruction part is performed in step S54. If it is determined in step S52 that the memory use amount of the instruction part of the allocation target program does not exceed the upper limit, the process in step S53 is skipped. If it is determined in step S51 that allocation for a data part is requested, a normal memory allocation process is performed in step S55. The present disclosure may be applied to, for example, an embedded device.
