- About legal OS-coding (allocmem).
-
- does memf_public also mean "non-swappable" for chipmem ?
-
- This would mean we got to make each are which is acessed by blitter
- or copper dma public (while swapping out planemem would only cause
- wrong display but no problems).
-
- All the c2p conversion buffers the blitter acesses, for example.
- this would include the screenbitmap then.
-
- but, for cpu-only c2p, nothing needs to be protected...
- will allocraster() make the plane public so I can blitter on it ?
-
- [ BTW allocraster is it legal if I alloc 8 times the size of one plane
- and just do 1 allocraster for 8 planes ? ;) ]
-
- well, all of the questions are obsolete if chipmem is defined
- never to be swapped...
-
- Any other things I got to care about to make my code run on future
- swappers (I heard there are already swapping programs. what about them ?
- "My program supports gigamem" I read. what does this mean ???)
