71 ---------------------------- Interface description -----------------------
73 There are two possible choices for allocating memory:
75 1. explicit allocating / deallocating
77 mem_alloc ..... allocate a memory block
78 mem_free ...... free a memory block
79 mem_realloc ... change size of a memory block (position may change)
80 mem_usage ..... amount of allocated memory
83 2. explicit allocating, automatic deallocating
85 dump_alloc .... allocate a memory block in the dump area
86 dump_realloc .. change size of a memory block (position may change)
87 dump_size ..... marks the current top of dump
88 dump_release .. free all memory requested after the mark
91 There are some useful macros:
93 NEW (type) ....... allocate memory for an element of type `type`
94 FREE (ptr,type) .. free memory
96 MNEW (type,num) .. allocate memory for an array
97 MFREE (ptr,type,num) .. free memory
99 MREALLOC (ptr,type,num1,num2) .. enlarge the array to size num2
101 These macros do the same except they operate on the dump area:
103 DNEW, DMNEW, DMREALLOC (there is no DFREE)
106 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
110 ALIGN (pos, size) ... make pos divisible by size. always returns an
114 OFFSET (s,el) ....... returns the offset of 'el' in structure 's' in bytes.
116 MCOPY (dest,src,type,num) ... copy 'num' elements of type 'type'.
