SYNOPSYS
#include "aut101.h"
void autfreeblock( Pointer )
char * Pointer;
PARAMETERS
Pointer Pointer to be given back to the system
DESCRIPTION
autfreeblock frees a pointer. It is now a day just an encapsulation of the system free function, but may evolve to a special allocator in
the future. Its use is strongly encouraged.
RETURN VALUE
autfreeblock returns nothing.
EXAMPLE
#include "aut101.h"
char *Pointer;
Pointer = autallocblock( 1024 );
...
autfreeblock( Pointer );

autallocheap - heap memory allocator
ORIGIN

SYNOPSYS
#include "aut101.h"
char *autallocheap( Size )
unsigned int Size;
PARAMETERS
Size Number of memory bytes to be contiguously allocated
DESCRIPTION
autallocheap returns a block of Size bytes length, allocated on the heap. The memory block is set to zero. Its use is strongly encouraged
when the Size is very small.
RETURN VALUE
autallocheap returns a pointer to a Size bytes long block.
ERRORS
"autalloc: alloc error, can't continue !"
System break can't be moved anymore, no more memory can be retrieved from the system.
EXAMPLE
#include "aut101.h"
typedef struct bipointer
{
struct bipointer *NEXT;
void *DATA;
} bipointer;
bipointer *addbipointer( Data );
void *Data;
{
bipointer *Bp = (bipointer *)autallocheap( sizeof( bipointer ) );
Bp->DATA = Data; return Bp;

Hi,
char *s="yamaha";
cout<<s<<endl;
int *p;
int i=10;
p=&i;
cout<<p<<endl;
1) For the 1st "cout" we will get "yamaha" as output. That is we are getting "content of the address" for cout<<s.
2) But for integer "cout<<p" we are getting the "address only".
Please clarify how we are... (2 Replies)
