In the future, when 10K parts come up, I'm going to rewrite malloc in the
following way:
- The memory above 2K (5K and 8K in 16xx devices) will be called '.heap'.
- Compiler itself wont be allowed to allocate memory there without user's
intrusion.
- malloc()'s bottom will be heap's bottom, which will be calculated as
a .heap bottom + numb of user allocated bytes there.
- malloc() calls for any other devices will return zero.
suggestions?
cheers,
~d
