Hi All,
I have an application, with the following declarations:
typedef struct {
... // a couple fields
} my_structure;
my_structure my_array[100]; // global variable
This worked fine, but I realized that I only need this array for a specific
function. So, to minimize global memory used, I changed it to:
my_structure *my_array; // global variable
which I then allocate and free. This works fine, as well. The thing that has
me perplexed is that the size of my .PRC file is exactly the same either
way! I THOUGHT the size of my .PRC would shrink by approximately
100*sizeof(my_structure), but it didn't shrink at all! So, two questions:
1. Why is my .PRC file the same size either way?
2. Am I wasting my time? Or is this type of memory saving worth doing?
Thanks in advance,
Tom Ward
