Function Documentation

osal_mem_alloc()

void* osal_mem_alloc

(

uint16

size

)

Implement the OSAL dynamic memory allocation functionality.

Parameters

size	the number of bytes to allocate from the HEAP.

osal_mem_allocLimited()

void* osal_mem_allocLimited

(

uint16

size

)

Implement the OSAL dynamic memory allocation functionality. However, a first check is done to ensure that enough heap will remain after the allocation.

Parameters

size	the number of bytes to allocate from the HEAP.

osal_mem_free()

void osal_mem_free

(

void *

ptr

)

Implement the OSAL dynamic memory de-allocation functionality.

Parameters

ptr	A valid pointer (i.e. a pointer returned by osal_mem_alloc()) to the memory to free.
