The UNIX standard for malloc() has no defined semantic for types of memory, at least that I'm aware of. How about a real far out concept which has been talked about extensively on comp.os.minix and I don't know much about: what are the semantics of POSIX, in this case, malloc() ? Does *IT* deal with the possiblity of differing memory types? Well, I would hope for portability's sake, you wouldn't be that hardware- specific, and let the OS handle such hardware dependancies. That's what having an OS is all about in the first place!! hmmmmm.....graphics rendering with a bunch of ioctl()'s and write()'s ......hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
