ARRFalloc

Synopsis

INTEGER FUNCTION ARRFalloc (N1,type,number_of_elements,N2)
INTEGER N1, N2
INTEGER type, number_of_elements

Description

For a complete description of this function, see ARRalloc.On 64-bit platforms, ARRFalloc actually returns an INTEGER*8.

Arguments

type

n integer code specifying the array's data type. AVS/Express provides the following symbolic constants, defined in <avs/dtype.h>:

Type	Meaning
DTYPE_CHAR	Character
DTYPE_BYTE	Byte
DTYPE_SHORT	Short integer
DTYPE_INT	Integer
DTYPE_FLOAT	Single-precision floating point
DTYPE_DOUBLE	Double-precision floating point
DTYPE_PTR	Pointer
DTYPE_STRING	Character string

number_of_elements

The number of elements to be stored in the allocated memory, expressed as an integer.

N1N2

Both N1 and N2 should be set to 0.

Returned value

The address of the allocated memory area or 0 if the call fails.

Examples

none.

#include <avs/omf.inc>       INTEGER iaddr         C On 64-bit platforms, iaddr should be INTEGER*8       ...       iaddr = ARRFalloc(0,DTYPE_FLOAT,2000,0)       IF (iaddr .EQ. 0) PRINT*,'Error allocating memory area'
