How does .NET framework allocate memory for OutOfMemoryException?

In C++ it's actually possible to throw an exception by value without allocating memory on a heap, so this situation makes sense. But in .NET framework OutOfMemoryException is a reference type, therefore it is allocated on a heap. How does .NET framework allocates memory for OutOfMemoryException when there is not enough memory to create a new object?


It is preallocated by the runtime. If you explore the heap of any managed process you'll find an instance of that exception.

Here are the preallocated exceptions of a Hello World app:

0:003> !dumpheap -stat -type Exception
Statistics:
      MT    Count    TotalSize Class Name
735f2920        1           84 System.ExecutionEngineException
735f28dc        1           84 System.StackOverflowException
735f2898        1           84 System.OutOfMemoryException
735f2744        1           84 System.Exception
735f2964        2          168 System.Threading.ThreadAbortException

When an out-of-memory condition is encountered inside the runtime, it calls ThrowOutOfMemory. This calls Exception::GetOOMException, which constructs the object on the stack and then copies it to a statically-allocated global instance, which is then thrown.

This is not the managed Exception, though, it a C++ exception declared in ex.h. C++ Exceptions are converted to managed Exceptions in clrex.cpp, which contains code to specifically throw the preallocated managed OutOfMemoryException, which was originally allocated and constructed in appdomain.cpp.

Note: Some of these source files are large and may hang your browser for several seconds while it loads the syntax highlighting.

The call sites that Tim Schmelter linked in a comment on the other answer aren't related to the runtime running out of memory and being unable to construct an object.
