In testing it I found difficulties with the malloc package on DJGPP 2.03. My nmalloc package, on the other hand, worked correctly. In addition, for more reasonable counts of insertions the nmalloc system was roughly twice as fast as the original. Note that I am not considering the massive end of the run freeing operation in this. This is a strong reason to incorporate nmalloc in DJGPP 2.04 as soon as possible. At present it is quite possible to install it in DJGPP 2.03 by pre-linking the malloc.o module in the actual final output. This prevents searching the library for malloc, free, realloc etc. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer at maineline dot net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.
