Wait, Handle? NewHandleClear? Your use of these functions suggests
that you
may be working from a dangerously old textbook. There's really no
reason to
use them in new code.
Ouch! That's my old code. But it works on
64-bit Intel, Base SDK 10.6, x86_64, GCC 4.2, Target Mac OS X 10.6
I need an handle to store image bitmap data for later reuse by the
OpenGL
API "glTexImage2D". Do you know a better way?
There's no good reason why it has to be a handle. Use an
NSMutableData or even just malloc a chunk of the heap.
Handles have an unnecessary level of indirection. Back in the day,
that came with relocatability, but it doesn't anymore. It's just
obscure and excessively complicated.
