Heap 5.5 - Advanced Heap Management for TP 5.5


Heap 5.5 - Advanced Heap Management for TP 5.5	Kim Kokkonen	07.01.1990
Набор модулей для управлению памятью, расположенной в "куче" для Turbo Pascal 5.5. This collection of Turbo Pascal units and utilities offers methods for managing and extending the heap. It includes the following: o a patch to TPC.EXE so that the compiler will generate an interrupt to a user-supplied routine after dereferencing each pointer. o a unit that checks for dereferencing an invalid pointer. o a unit that transfers control of the New, Getmem, Dispose, and FreeMem procedures to user-supplied routines. o a unit that logs various information about the heap to disk at convenient points in a program.	16k


Advanced Heap Management for Turbo Pascal 5.5 Version 5.5 January 6, 1990 Overview ----------------------------------------------------------------- Turbo Pascal's heap is one of the most useful and powerful features of the language. By using the heap, programs can access all 640K of DOS memory in a completely dynamic fashion. With power comes responsibility, however. Managing pointers to the heap is one of the trickiest subjects in Pascal. And as time goes by, the 640K of DOS memory doesn't seem all that big -- accessing even more memory is desirable. This collection of Turbo Pascal units and utilities offers methods for managing and extending the heap. It includes the following: o a patch to TPC.EXE so that the compiler will generate an interrupt to a user-supplied routine after dereferencing each pointer. o a unit that checks for dereferencing an invalid pointer. o a unit that transfers control of the New, Getmem, Dispose, and FreeMem procedures to user-supplied routines.
