Re: [Dev-C++] Re: malloc , extra bytes ! Somewhat urgent !

[Danny R. <dro...@ho...>]

Hi,

Well i dont realy know what youre doing with it.. and i never used =
calloc but it seems your allocating memory for 1000 bytes=20
and a additional 8 bytes..  sizeof(byte) reserves 8 bytes in my opinion. =
is it perhaps that you have to do this:

calloc(1000,BYTE) instead of calloc(1000,sizeof(BYTE))

Well i actualy dont know.. i am just programming in C for just a month =
or so..

  Hi !=20
  It seems too simple .But what is it !?=20
  if( (buffer =3D ( PBYTE )calloc( 1000 ,sizeof(BYTE) )) =3D=3D NULL ){=20
         ------=20
        -------=20
  }=20
    size =3D _msize( buffer );=20

  The size I get it is not 1000 , but 1008  !Same for malloc. Any =
subsequent call to realloc  does not add  the 8 bytes,though  .=20
