Hi Folks, I'm hoping to use SDCC to implement a (very!) simple Lisp on an Amstrad CPC. Now that Maarten has kindly explained the 1kB heap size I can proceed, but I have a related question: can SDCC make use of switched RAM offered by the system?
Specifically, the Amstrad is capable of switching out 16kB banks of RAM so that the Z80 - normally limited to a 64kB address space can have up to, IIRC, around 512kB RAM. Details here: http://www.norecess.net/advancedmemoryusage.html Faced with writing my own memory management code to allocate and free cons cells, I thought I'd ask whether SDCC is capable of managing bank-switched memory, so that I can just malloc() away to my heart's content? If not, and I go ahead and implement something, would this functionality fit in SDCC? I'm suspicious that it wouldn't, as it's specific to just one type of Z80 system. -- Duncan Bayne ph: +61 420817082 | web: http://duncan-bayne.github.com/ | skype: duncan_bayne I usually check my mail every 24 - 48 hours.
