Dear friends,
I need your suggestions to solve a problem of heap memory allocation and
disallocation. To the aim of testing the memory disallocation, I've
written the following short program.

#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <dpmi.h>

int main()
{
        clrscr();

        int N=100000;
        
        cout<<"before allocation"<<endl;
        cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory()<<endl;
        cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_virtual_memory()<<endl<<endl;
        
        int * v = new int[N];
        
        cout<<"after allocation"<<endl;
        cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory()<<endl;
        cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_virtual_memory()<<endl<<endl;
        
        delete [] v;
        
        cout<<"after disallocation"<<endl;
        cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory()<<endl;
        cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_virtual_memory()<<endl<<endl;

        return 0;
}

Nevertheless it seems that the disallocated memory does not become newly
free.
I am making a blunder?
Where I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
