Hi everyone.
I have been reading some old mails that had been posted a couple months ago
in this list about memory in the motes and nesc. From what i understood the
use of malloc to provide dynamic memory allocation isn't advised. There was
some talk about using TinyAlloc, but i couldn't find that in T2 and in my
case i have been using malloc without any problems, but reading those mails
made me want to change my code to do the right away, so i don't have
unexpected long term problems.
If i wanted to pass arrays of data between 2 components , what is the best
way to this without having memory problems/or any kind of problems.
The way i am doing:
command uint8_t* Component1.getSomething(uint8_t size) {
uint8_t *array=malloc(size*sizeof(*array));
/* Fill array with something */
return array;
}
In Component2:
task void someName() {
uint8_t* pointer;
pointer = call Component1.getSomething(size);
/* Do something with data */
}
Thanks,
Ricardo
