NAME malloc, malloc64 - allocate memory and return the address SYNOPSIS INTEGER*4 function malloc(nsize) INTEGER*4 nsize in 32-bit environments INTEGER*8 function malloc(nsize) INTEGER*4 nsize in 64-bit environments (SPARC only) INTEGER*8 function malloc64(nsize) INTEGER*8 nsize in all environments (SPARC only) DESCRIPTION The function MALLOC(NSIZE) allocates an area of memory, and returns the address of the start of that area. The argument to the function is an integer that specifies the amount of memory to be allocated, in bytes. If successful, it returns a pointer to the first element of the region; otherwise, it returns an integer 0. Typically, the variable receiving the result from MALLOC or MALLOC64 is declared POINTER. The region of memory is not initialized in any way - assume it is random bits. When compiled to run in a 64-bit environment, MALLOC takes an INTEGER*4 argument and returns an INTEGER*8 value. Oth- erwise, it returns a 32-bit INTEGER*4 value The function MALLOC64 takes an INTEGER*8 argument and always returns an INTEGER*8 result. Use this function in programs that are intended to run in both 32-bit and 64-bit environ- ments. Be sure that variables receiving the result from MAL- LOC64 are declared INTEGER*8 or POINTER. NOTES Compiling to run in a 64-bit environment means compiling the program with -xarch=v9|v9a and executing on a 64-bit SPARC V9 or UltraSPARC processor in a 64-bit Solaris operating environment.
