Reset Dynamic Memory Pool
minit
Syntax
#include
<stdlib.h>
void
minit()
Defined in
memory. c in rts. src
Description
The minit function resets all the space that was previously allocated by calls
to themalloc.calloc. or realloc functions.
Note:
Calling the minig function makes all the memory space in the heap
available again. Any objects that you allocated previously will
be lost; don't try to access them.
The memory that minit uses is in a special memory pool or heap. A C mo-
dule called memory. c reserves memory for the heap in the .bss section. The
constant
MEMORY-SIZE
defines the size of the heap as 1000 bytes. If nec-
essary, you can change the size of the heap by change the value of
MEMORY_SIZE
and reassembling memory. c.
