New Array[] memory allocation...

| Not sure why but bear with me I'm trying to hunt down a wieird memory allocation error and would like to compare array based memory allocation with malloc and MemAlloc... In effect I think I only need to call... Local mem:Byte Ptr = New Byte[size] Is that right? |

| Looks right to me, so longs as its a 1 dimensional array. Usually you refer to the `name` of the array ie local mem:Byte[size] does the same thing. Then mem is an array pointer, but I think you can also use it like a byte pointer. |
| ||
What I'm trying to do is create an equivalent to ...Local mem:Byte Ptr = MemAlloc(size) To help track down the Windows Exception error I get on occasion? |

| Why not just wrap MemAlloc and MemFree yourself? Keep a list of all allocated pointers and whether they have been freed or not. That will atleast help you figure out if your use of MemAlloc/MemFree is incorrect. |

| Just trying a few back to basic approaches to the problem, it looks like the MemAlloc() function has a flaw, but I would like to try another approach to memory allocation using arrays first to help me get a better idea of when the upper memory allocation limit is reached... http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=88691#1008264 |
