#Memory Munching
Hello. I've been messing around with the AMIGA since about 1985 or so. At
work, I use PCs (sorry), so I am a little behind on this beast. I currently
have an AMIGA 2000 with a 40MB drive and a 105MB drive, three 3.5" disks, 1
5.5" disk, and a 8088 bridgeboard. Miscellaneous other stuff of no
significance.
I am trying to write an app in Aztec 'C' V5.2 on this computer, and I have a
conundrum. No matter what I write (and I've written about 5 apps), I have a
memory management problem. Any application that I write, the first time the
application runs, it burns up 10,992 bytes of memory. After that, I can run
the app a thousand times, and all is well.
This doesn't fit in with my experience on PCs, and I can't figure out what's
going on. I operate on the assumption that all statics and globals are freed
by the compiler, but this doesn't seem to be true. If not that, then the OS
must be a little recalcitrant. Has any one run into this? Is there something
that I've missed? I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thanx much.
