In working with Turbo C v1.5, I was using getch <conio.h> in a user
input routine, compiled with a Tiny model. While running, after about
a dozen uses, it would look like it was getting infinite input from
somewhere besides the keyboard (the spade character all the time),
effectively locking things up.
When I compiled it under a Small model, the problem went away. So
where's the documentation saying that you can't use it getch (or getchar
from <stdio.h> either) very many times in the Tiny model (no stack)?
Here's a code snippet:
void FnDecl(...
{
char letter;
...
do
switch (letter = getch())
{
...
Of course the obvious knee-jerk solution is to NOT USE THE TINY MODEL,
but some space is saved by making it into a .COM file.
So where does it say that you can't use it?
