- 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...
