MathcadAllocate

char * MathcadAllocate(size)
unsigned int size;

Defined in mcadincl.h. Used to allocate memory for complex scalars and strings inside MyCFunction. Allocates a memory block of a given size (in bytes) of memory.

Parameter	Description
size	Size (in bytes) of memory block to allocate. Should be non-zero.

Return value

Returns a pointer to the storage space. To get a pointer to a type other than char, use a type cast on the return value. Returns NULL if the allocation failed or if size is equal to 0.

Notes:

Free memory using MathcadFree. To allocate memory for arrays, use MathcadArrayAllocate. See the example.
