|    malloc with small data    |
|    24 Nov 22 01:19:47    |
      From: muta...@gmail.com              How did people support malloc() requests in the       tiny/small/medium memory models?              Did the executable in the header ask for memory       beyond SP, perhaps filling out to the 64k boundary,       and then at startup, see how much memory you       managed to get, and only release stuff above the       64k boundary, and then service malloc requests       from within that space?              Currently in PDPCLIB I only support malloc for       compact/large/huge and go directly to the OS       to obtain it rather than link in my own memory       management routines.              Thanks. Paul.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
