[Sdcc-user] The SDCC 'malloc()' function: some remarks

[<jan...@me...>]

      Hi di hi,

      Last week I reported that I could not work with the 'malloc()' function. I am trying now to understand (!) the code, and I encountered some weird things (to me).

      It already starts with the 'init_dynamic_memory'-function. What Dmitry is trying to do is setting up a linked list. He gives a maximum size for the memory, but later on, he doesn't give a ##### on it... In his malloc function he assumes automatically a memory size of 64kB!

71      if (size>(0xFFFF-HEADER_SIZE)) return NULL;

I wonder if someone else has tried to use this function with success. Since I need it for my project at school, I have to continue with it until it works (on my µC-board :) )

Regards,

    Jan
