how much memory left

[Netherwood P J]

Does anyone know of a method of determining how much memory you have
left after a series of calls to malloc in 3L's Parallel C ?

How about use undocumented global variable "IMP___HEAP_LIMIT".
It points top of heap. So you can estimate free memory left by subtracting
this value from current stack address like following.

int free_mem()
{
extern char *IMP___HEAP_LIMIT;
char tmp;
return &tmp - IMP___HEAP_LIMIT;
}
