I noticed on the NeXT machine there is a library call called malloc_size, which given ptr it returns the block size allocated to this ptr. I noticed NeXT uses gcc 1.37 as its compiler. I don't see similar feature being provided by gcc on sparc or r6000. We need this malloc_size to collect statistics for our project. I posted requesting this info. on comp.lang.c, and was told that this is a non-portable feature of the language. We use gcc compiler (1.37.1/ 2.2.2) on sparc machine. Can some one please help me with this? Thanks a lot... Sreedhar
