Getheap and Rtnheap Procedures

The procedures getheap and rtnheap are intrinsics in the Pascal run-time library. They are provided only for compatibility with existing source code that was written for the MPE V operating system and only exists on MPE/iX. If you are writing a new program, use the predefined procedures p_getheap and p_rtnheap instead.

The procedure getheap allocates a region of heap space, and the procedure rtnheap deallocates the region.

Syntax

getheap (VAR regptr  : localanyptr;
         VAR regsize : shortint;
         VAR ok     : shortint);
 
rtnheap (VAR regptr  : localanyptr;
             regsize : shortint;
         VAR ok     : shortint);
