malloc 返回之后，内存就归你了吗
8GB 的机器上 malloc(4GB) 两次，会成功吗？
Copy the prompt, then pick a model. It plays the interviewer and asks you through it scene by scene instead of handing you the answer.
On a phone with the app installed, the system opens the app directly. Links cannot open external apps inside WeChat — open it in a browser first.
The copied text ends with the answer key the model grades you against. Don't read it yourself first — working it out on your own is the point.
第一幕是三个预测题，先让你猜，不评价对错 —— 然后用它们把「malloc 给的是账，不是内存」这件事逼出来。
这块东西线上天天用得到：为什么 free 了内存没降、为什么 VSZ 几十 GB 是正常的、为什么内存泄漏不一定表现为一直涨（碎片也这样），以及最要紧的那一条 —— 内存不够时程序不会崩在 malloc 那一行。

How to use this
This set teaches rather than interrogates: it guides you instead of pressing until you have nothing left to say. When you're stuck it first asks which layer you're stuck at (never heard of it / know it but not why / know why but can't apply it), then decides what to give. Only after guiding you twice on the same point will it spell it out — and then it asks you to say it back in your own words.
It will keep pushing you for numbers: answer "there's some overhead" or "it's faster" and it cuts you off. A conclusion you can't put a number on is a memorised one — that's exactly what this set drills.
How to start
- Pick one, open it, copy the prompt.
- Paste it into a brand-new conversation, say nothing, and wait for its first question.
- Expect to be asked for orders of magnitude: how many nanoseconds, how many microseconds, how many times slower. Saying you don't know is fine — it notes it and moves on.

Three traps
- Don't read the answer key at the end first — that "how people get it wrong" section is the answer to every question it will ask.
- Don't reach for the jargon. Saying "that's a TLB miss" is easy; saying how much cheaper it is than a page fault is the part that counts.
- When it starts praising you, point it back to the "don't praise me" rule. Guiding is not coddling.
Want a feel for the numbers? Start with random reads and the first-byte one. For production debugging: malloc, TCP stalls, context switches. Writing concurrent code: reordering and false sharing.
