Try something like this:
Declare Function malloc lib "System" ( size as integer ) as ptr
dim p as ptr = malloc( 1000 ) // p as a pointer to the allocated memory
// you can now do things like this:
// p.integer( 0 ) = 4
// p.uint16( 4 ) = 12345
dim m as Memoryblock = p // RB converts ptrs to memoryblocks
automatically
m.stringValue( 0 ) = "some string"
You can use the pointer directly, but beware that it does not do bounds
checking, endian swapping, etc.
