FreePotBits does nothing. Is this bug so well
known that no one talks about it? Here's an example code fragment:
// open the potgo resource etc.
allocmask = AllocPotBits(MASK);
if (allocmask != MASK) {
printf("error blah blah...");
FreePotBits(allocmask);
exit(0);
} // end if
FreePotBits(allocmask);
// end of program fragment
A program containg the above code will run the first time, but
will not be able to allocate the bits the second time. If I have
done something wrong, what is the correct way? I've written the
exact code in Benchmark and get the same result, so I don't think
the problem is with Lattice.
Thanks,
John Schultz
