To use Intuition's memory functions, first create an anchor for the memory to be allocated by declaring a variable that is a pointer to a remember structure and initializing that pointer to NULL. This variable is called the remember key. struct Remember *rememberKey = NULL; Call allocremember() with the address of the remember key, along with the memory requirements for the specific allocation. Multiple allocations may be made before a call to freeremember(). memBlockA = AllocRemember(&rememberKey, SIZE_A, MEMF_CLEAR | MEMF_PUBLIC); if (memBlockA == NULL) { /* error: allocation failed */ printf("Memory allocation failed.\n"); } else { /* use the memory here */ printf("Memory allocation succeeded.\n"); } allocremember() actually performs two memory allocations per call, one for the memory requested and the other for a remember structure. the remember structure is filled in with data describing the allocation, and is linked into the list to which the remember key points. To free memory that has been allocated, simply call freeremember() with the correct remember key. void FreeRemember(&rememberKey, TRUE); This will free all the memory blocks previously allocated with allocremember() in a single call.
