[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Think C: malloc

jp57+@andrew.cmu.edu (Jefferson Provost) (03/23/91)

I remember seeing a discussion here not too long ago about how malloc()
works in Think C.  It said it was somewhat different than just doing a
NewPtr.  I remember something about allocating 15k blocks or something
like that.  I looked in the copy of the USENET Mac Programmer's Guide,
but apparently the guide pre-dates the discussion (probably by some
time).

Could someone post or send me the essentials of the discussion?  

Specifically I need to know what would happen if you called realloc() on
a pointer allocated using NewPtr(). 

Thanx much,

Jeff
