- RUCKUS Borland C compiler patch-chh.
-
- All Borland C compilers from TC to the current BC will not handle DOS INT48
- memory allocations to be mixed with Borland's C runtime _malloc. In medium
- model, this is not a problem (shouldn't be), however, in large and huge models
- it Borland's _malloc gets lost. This problem does not present itself in MS C,
- or in any other C compilers that I'm aware of, so this patch is not needed
- when using a C compiler other than one from Borland, but you may use it if
- you feel more comfortable in using the runtime's _malloc and _free rather
- than having RUCKUS use DOS INT48.
-
-
- What to do? Simple, just run BORLAND.BAT. This executes LIB.EXE to create
- two new LIBs called BUCKMIDI.LIB and BUCKDAC.LIB. These new library files
- are exactly the same as the original files except for the new memory
- allocation module. If you link to Borland's runtime, you'll need to use
- the BUCK*.LIB files. You can rename them if you want.
