Besides all the things that Bill mentioned, which as far as I see can be activated by LE run time options, there is one additional technique which requires some input into the ENV string (environment), which is also a runtime parameter; you can replace the normal LE heap manager by the so called "

I've documented this some time ago for my own use and for the use of a customer of mine, and it is not very complicated. But I don't recall the details at the moment. I wrote a routine, too, that writes a report of all allocated areas, if you give one valid address to it; that is possible, becaus

Interface to query length of storage allocated with CEEGTST LE service

2016-07-23 Thread Bill Woodger
There is some evidence that the "control information" is stored in the heap itself (see the Usage Notes for "CEEFRST—Free heap storage") and by implication associated directly with the storage allocated. However, it is not documented, and working it out through inspection would be pointless bey
