This region is mostly unused after loading, but it may be accessed again if - Isolate.spawn is invoke with isolate groups disabled - A secondary snapshot produced by splitting is loaded - An external typed data in the snapshot is accessed (usually a kernel file) - Likely other cases Even if these cases did not exist, the region is often part of a shared library and so unable to be released independently. madvise(DONT_NEED) on this region will cause the OS to release the memory in this region but keep the address space reservation and mapping. If it is touched again, it will be brought back in from the file. If it is not backed by a file, such as malloc memory, it will be brought back in as zeros and the program will likely fail.

Dart
A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform
Dart is:
-
Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.
-
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app.
-
Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
-
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
-
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
