MemoryAllocating

[stephane fonteyne]

Hey,

How can I dynamic allocate memory in my application like others
language because they have statements for reserving dynamic memory
allocating.
Is there here a goud functions on the forums like
CreateMem, MemAlloc
FreeMem

Mvgr

you've asked for this thing before and i gave you some code that does this. here's the url to the archived message:

cf DIM, REDIM, SPACE$, STRING$, and the Windows API calls, GlobalAlloc, LocalAlloc,
HeapAlloc, undsoweiter. We (still) have this item on the wish list, but it seems a
bit redundant, as do repeated requests by the same person for this functionality.

Thanks
Is that code works fine for PBDOS, PBCC?

------------------

[Michael Torrie]

The code I posted only works for PB/DOS. For PB/CC, as was mentioned, there are win32 api calls that can do this. I don't program or even use windows, so I can't tell you what they are.

Can you tell my what api4S CAN i use

From the Win32API help file provided by PB:

Following are the Win32 functions used in memory management.

CopyMemory
FillMemory
GetProcessHeap
GetProcessHeaps
GlobalAlloc
GlobalDiscard
GlobalFlags
GlobalFree
GlobalHandle
GlobalLock
GlobalMemoryStatus
GlobalReAlloc
GlobalSize
GlobalUnlock
HeapAlloc
HeapCompact
HeapCreate
HeapDestroy
HeapFree
HeapLock
HeapReAlloc
HeapSize
HeapUnlock
HeapValidate
IsBadCodePtr
IsBadHugeReadPtr
IsBadHugeWritePtr
IsBadReadPtr
IsBadStringPtr
IsBadWritePtr
LocalAlloc
LocalDiscard
LocalFlags
LocalFree
LocalHandle
LocalLock
LocalReAlloc
LocalSize
LocalUnlock
MoveMemory
VirtualAlloc
VirtualFree
VirtualLock
VirtualProtect
VirtualProtectEx
VirtualQuery
VirtualQueryEx
VirtualUnlock
ZeroMemory

That's 49 functions. If you master one per business day (five business days per business week) you should be ready to ask again approximately in 9 weeks, 4 days, which puts us about June 1, 2001.
