Read-Only Author Roberto Hosman Posted 14-Aug-2002 10:55 GMT Toolset C51	Memory pool Roberto Hosman Hello all, I'm working with C51 complier ver 7.00. Can anyone help me with the following questions? 1. For using functions like malloc, calloc and etc I need to define memory pool. If I define a memory pool with a size of X, but for some reason I don't use it, can the complier use the X space for other variables? 2. At previews compiler versions (5.5, 6.0) the memory allocation routine required 5 bytes of extra space for each allocated block. Is it the same in ver 7.00? Thanks a lot, Roberto H.

The memory requirements of the compiled code are fixed at compile time. However, there is nothing to stop you overlapping your runtime dynamic memory pool with your compiler variables - that should be a whole bunch of fun... ;-)
