ABSTRACT:
A storage management is carried out in an information processing system in which a program including functions each treating a list structure data is executed. The storage management method includes the steps of generating list cells in a cell storage area so that the list cells are successively arranged therein while a function is being executed, and of collecting disused list cells from the cell storage area when execution of the function is completed, each of the disused cells being defined as a list cell that will not be used in the program, so that the disused list cells may be reclaimed in the cell storage area.
