Re: free() vs dealloc

I believe that if you use a teraspace storage model that the RPG %alloc/dealloc will use teraspace as well. But, then your whole program model is teraspace which can cause issues with callers also having to be teraspace. Since I only needed teraspace memory for things that I specifically allocate, there wasn't any need for that in yAJL.


For RPG, you can code ALLOC(*TERASPACE) in the H spec, and then RPG will allocate from teraspace even if you are in the SNGLVL or INHERIT storage model.
