Hi!

Another stupid question about the memory:

In my program i'm doing some wild "malloc" and "free"-actions (please,
don't ask why ;)). Now i want to show the user at runtime(!) how many
memory (in byte) he could actually use.

The best solution seems to be a C-Funktion, which will return the free
bytes as an unsigned int.

My first (trivial) idea was, to "malloc" memory until the
malloc-function returns an error. After that, i free this memory and so
i should know the free bytes.
I think that this solution is not very good (or let's say, i doesn't
like it :)).

Does anybody knows a better solution?

Thanks,
