-
-
- MemManager v3.14 public beta.
- This beta version may be used and distributed freely, but may still contain a
- few bugs. Tell me if you find any (ennals@aol.com).
-
-
- MemManager is a system that enables programmers to take advatage of several
- memory management features in their own programs through the use of a few simple
- functions.
-
-
- This is the third beta. The problem with VmemPatch in the first and
- second beta releases (could cause crashses) should now be fixed.
-
-
- Features include:
-
-
- * Virtual Memory
- (without MMU - works on all machines)
-
- * Smart memory priorities and hiearachies
- gives much better performance than MMU based systems
-
- * Different memory types
- Open ended abilities
-
- * Disposable memory
- Specify that memory blocks should be removed when memory is low.
- Very useful for buffers, caches, old date, undo data etc.
-
- * ChipToFast
- Move unlocked chip mem blocks into fast memory if chip memory is
- needed for other things and there is fast mem free.
-
- * Resource Tracking
- Not yet implemented, but will be soon and all the functions needed are
- already in place (doing other things too)
-
- * Memory Protection
- Not yet implemented, but should be later
-
- * Coorperative with other MemManager programs and with AllocMem allcations
-
- * Very easy to adapt existing programs to take advantage of it
-
- * Ability to Publish memory (make like exec public memory)
- Must do this before giving pointer out to other tasks.
