You can select either of the following memory models:
- Single memory region
The stack grows downward from the top of the memory region. The heap grows upwards from the bottom of the region. This is the default. The memory managed by the heap never shrinks. Heap memory that is freed by calling
free()cannot be reused for other purposes.- Two memory regions
One memory region is for the stack and the other is for the heap. The size of the heap region can be zero. The stack region can be in allocated memory or inherited from the execution environment.
To use the two‑region model rather than the default one‑region model, use either:
IMPORT __use_two_region_memoryfrom assembly language#pragma import(__use_two_region_memory)from C.
Note
If you use the two‑region memory model and do not provide any heap memory, you cannot call malloc(), use stdio, or get command‑line arguments for main().
If you set the size of the heap region to zero and define __user_heap_extend() as a function that can extend the heap, the heap is created when it is required.
See the description of __use_no_heap in Tailoring storage management, for more information on how to issue a warning message if the heap or heap region is used.
