On Windows RexxAllocateMemory uses GlobalAlloc, whose docs state "The global functions have greater overhead and provide fewer features than other memory management functions. New applications should use the heap functions .."
The mentioned heap functions are HeapAlloc/HeapFree, but require an initial HeapCreate and a final HeapDestroy. On Unix RexxAllocateMemory uses standard malloc. Might it be worth migrating away from GlobalAlloc? If so, to which of the two options?
