Definition
MEMPOOL specifies the dynamic memory requirements of the program. This
allows the loader to check free memory at load time, and prevent a run-time error.
The minimum size is a 20-bit number. There are three ways of specifying this value:
•
+
indicates that the number should be added to the current dynamic memory
requirements.
•
-
indicates that the number should be :mbtracted from the current dynamic
memory requirements.
•
no sign indicates that the number should become the new minimum dynamic
memory requirement.
The maximum size is a 20-bit number. There are two ways of specifying this value:
•
+
indicates that the number should be added to the current minimum dynamic
memory requirement.
•
no sign indicates that the number should become the new maximum dynamic
memory requirement.
Notes
•
The minimum-size must be less than or equal to the maximum-size.
•
MEMPOOL has no effect unless the BIND control is also specified.
