Hi,

I am not using my own psuedo-malloc (Manual laziness! ;0) at the moment but for interest how is the malloc command used on the yaroze? I am familiar
with it on the PC.

Here are some questions;

Can you define the memory pool (from this address to that address) that malloc uses to a certain area of memory?

Can you define separate memory pools for separate malloc calls?

Can you force a garbage collection?

Can you set the size of pages?

Am I talking rubbish, is there a god, what is the meaning of life... oops got carried away there.  : )

Thanks,

Ian T.
