OSHeapHandle OS_CreateHeap( OSArenaId id, void* start, void* end );
id | Arena ID of an arena in which you are going to create a heap |
start | Starting address of heap region |
end | Ending address of address of heap region (+1) |
In the case that it was possible to create a heap, the handle to the heap is returned. When a heap could not be created, -1 is returned.
Creates a heap in the specified arena.
The arena is specified with the arena ID (id). For more information on this value, see the OS_InitArena
function. The arena must have memory allocated with the OS_InitAlloc
function and then be initialized in advance. The region for the heap is from start to end. The end address is +1 from the actual end position.
OS_CreateHeap( OS_ARENA_MAIN, (void*)0x2030000, (void*)0x2040000 );
In this example, the 0x10000
bytes from 0x2030000
to 0x203FFFF
are used as the heap region.
Call the OS_DestroyHeap
function to destroy created heaps.
Call the OS_ClearHeap
function to reinitialize a heap.
