#include <stdlib.h>
void xinit_mempool (
void xhuge *p, /* start of memory pool */
unsigned long size); /* length of memory pool */
Description
The xinit_mempool function initializes the memory
management routines and provides the starting address and size of the
memory pool. The p argument points to a memory
area in xdata which is managed using the xcalloc,
xfree, xmalloc, and xrealloc library functions.
The size argument specifies the number of bytes to
use for the memory pool.
Note
This function must be used to setup the memory pool before
any other memory management functions (xcalloc,
xfree, xmalloc, xrealloc) can be called.
Call the xinit_mempool function only once at the beginning
of your program.
Source code for this routine is provide in the LIB
folder. You may modify the source to customize this function for
your particular hardware environment.
Each memory block needs 8 bytes overhead to handle the
allocation information. In addition another 8 bytes are required
for init_mempool itself. Therefore if you want to allocate
2 blocks with 100 bytes each, the memory pool size must be 224
bytes.
