Note that SmartDSP OS doesn't support an equivalent<BR />osFree() function and therefore allocated memory is never really released".</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You may want to look at the Buffer Management feature and the osMemPart and osmemBlock functions.</P><P>This allows you to allocate a buffer and then get and free part of this buffer.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>CrasyCat</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 27 May 2009 20:30:26 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/Classic-Legacy-CodeWarrior/freeing-memory-after-osMalloc/m-p/184064#M4369 CrasyCat 2009-05-27T20:30:26Z
