SYNOPSYS¶
#include "aut101.h"
char *autallocheap( Size )
unsigned int Size;
PARAMETERS¶
- Size
- Number of memory bytes to be contiguously allocated
DESCRIPTION¶
autallocheap returns a block of
Size bytes length, allocated on
the heap. The memory block is set to zero. Its use is strongly encouraged when
the
Size is very small.
RETURN VALUE¶
autallocheap returns a pointer to a
Size bytes long block.
ERRORS¶
"autalloc: alloc error, can't continue !"
System break can't be moved anymore, no more memory can
be retrieved from the system.
EXAMPLE¶
#include "aut101.h"
typedef struct bipointer
{
struct bipointer ∗NEXT;
void ∗DATA;
} bipointer;
bipointer ∗addbipointer( Data );
void ∗Data;
{
bipointer ∗Bp = (bipointer ∗)autallocheap( sizeof( bipointer ) );
Bp->DATA = Data; return Bp;
}
