40 ---------------------------- Interface description -----------------------
42 There are two possible choices for allocating memory:
44 1. explicit allocating / deallocating
46 mem_alloc ..... allocate a memory block
47 mem_free ...... free a memory block
48 mem_realloc ... change size of a memory block (position may change)
49 mem_usage ..... amount of allocated memory
52 2. explicit allocating, automatic deallocating
54 dump_alloc .... allocate a memory block in the dump area
55 dump_realloc .. change size of a memory block (position may change)
56 dump_size ..... marks the current top of dump
57 dump_release .. free all memory requested after the mark
60 There are some useful macros:
62 NEW (type) ....... allocate memory for an element of type `type`
63 FREE (ptr,type) .. free memory
65 MNEW (type,num) .. allocate memory for an array
66 MFREE (ptr,type,num) .. free memory
68 MREALLOC (ptr,type,num1,num2) .. enlarge the array to size num2
70 These macros do the same except they operate on the dump area:
72 DNEW, DMNEW, DMREALLOC (there is no DFREE)
75 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
79 ALIGN (pos, size) ... make pos divisible by size. always returns an
83 OFFSET (s,el) ....... returns the offset of 'el' in structure 's' in bytes.
85 MCOPY (dest,src,type,num) ... copy 'num' elements of type 'type'.
