Description

The mcf_dmm_allocate function allocates an array of size elements in the memory heap and returns the DMM identifier ident. ident is tied to the allocated memory until the memory is explicitly released. Re-allocation (by means of mcf_dmm_reallocate) preserves the identifier, although the allocated memory may reside somewhere else in the memory heap. Reference to the allocated memory must always be made by the pointer dmmptr(ident). Attributes may be added with mcf_dmm_set_attributes (database attributes) and mcf_dmm_set_tag (sets the user tag or user code).
