[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MacApp & InsideOut Questions

finnegan@dhw68k.cts.com (Greg Finnegan) (11/03/90)

We are getting pretty close to shipping our product and I have a few
questions for those of you using or familiar with MacApp and InsideOut.

1) Does anyone have any general strategies/recipies for memory managment
while using InsideOut?

2) What are you doing with the temporary and permanent reserves?

3) How are you handling PermAllocation when making InsideOut calls
(especially with records that have handle fields)?  Right now, we make
calls with PermAllocation off hoping that we don't run out of temp memory
during InsideOut 'segment' loading and handle allocation.  Any suggestions?

4) The InsideOut documentation says that 2 (or 3, with debugging) IOCD
resources should be preloaded and locked.  However, the v1.2.1 resource
file has all 'segments' purgeable.  Any suggestions as to which can be made
preload/locked to improve heap management and performance?

5) Is there anyway to intelligently remove IOCD resources if we know we
are not going to be using parts of InsideOut (like reorganization, etc.)?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated

Greg.
