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