- Cc: roy
-
- I'm not sure if it is really germane to the issue at hand, but I
- recently (yesterday) submitted to mod.sources a little package to handle
- run time memory allocation for multi-dimensional arrays. You might want to
- take a look at it.
-
- Is it reasonable to include such a functionality in a Unix
- standard? I don't know if memory allocators should be considered part of
- the C language, or part of the Unix OS, but given the fuss that went on
- recently (in net.unix-wizards?) about the issue, it seems that it should be
- addressed somewhere. Of course, my implementation isn't necessarily the
- best one (or even a good one), but I think the idea is sound.
