Re: Outputting a User Space through QtmhWrStout

What about the variables named like the sounds you make when the program
does "Kaboom"? I can think of a couple that fit very well in
6-character names.....

I don't use any variables that make the same sound as my program.

There are APIs you can use to get the current size of the user space.

However, user spaces are often "padded" (i.e. you tell it to make the
user space 1000 bytes, but the system makes it 4000 bytes and leaves

the

remaining 3000 bytes empty) therefore I don't recommend this

approach.

You should keep track of the length of your user space somehow. This
can be data that you store inside the user space itself, or it can be
data that your program "remembers" from when it populated the space.
But either way, I would recommend that your program manage that length
rather than expecting to retrieve it from the OS.

Incidentally, the article you started with (from the looks of it) was
something I wrote. I don't know anyone else that uses variables named
'Kaboom' :)

How would one calculate the size if I didn't have that number? Read

through

the user space and add up all of the characters?
