Question and Answer Database FAQ543C.txt Farrealloc to grow a block of memory for new _huge Category :C/C++ Language Issues Platform :DOS Product : BC++4.5x BC++5.x TC++Win4.5 Question: Can I use farrealloc to grow a block of memory for new _huge ? Answer: No, DO NOT MIX malloc/realloc/free/farmalloc/farrealloc/farfree with new/delete. There is no analagous new/delete style of function to realloc or farrealloc. You will have to do a new _huge of the new size block. You can do it something like this: — If the new block is larger, copy over the old size amount of data — Else if it is smaller, copy the new size amount of data. — If the allocation fails, return NULL or throw an exception — Else delete the old pointer and return the new one. An alternative is to not fool with new/delete at all and do everything with farmalloc, farrealloc and farfree. 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
