Hello.
You can sort of write your own malloc (not sure about free?) if you need
it. Check out the source code to MIDI, this uses it for a fact. You
basically get a pointer to the MP3 buffer and start giving out space
from there. This works well if you allocate a bunch of things in the
beginning of
Hi,
There is a plugin buffer in which you can allocate the memory you need.
I needed some form of malloc() once, in /apps/plugins/dict.c (see here:
http://www.rockbox.org/viewcvs.cgi/apps/plugins/dict.c?rev=1.7&view=markup
).
So I wrote a very simple function called pl_malloc() there... may
As someone once said to me, if you want malloc/free/etc code them. After
about 10 minutes of thinking on the problem I realised just how much of my
32K of memory such algorithms would cost me and decided to write my code
with static memory allocations set at compile time.
Tobias, if you need
The (much argued over) view of the rockbox dev'ers is that dynamic
memory allocation is a bad idea in embedded systems, like Rockbox.
The reason usually given is that you have to deal with the 'worst
case' scenario anyway (ie, all resources are needed), therefore you
need at least this much ram av
Hi guys,
I've just started to develop a plugin for rockbox and stumbled over the
memory allocation:
Is there anything like malloc() and free() in rockbox and if yes, which
headers do I have to include for that?
So far, I've only found buffer_alloc() in buffer.h, but that results in
an undefi
