[comp.sys.handhelds] Dynamic stack data

akcs.scotty@hpcvbbs.UUCP (SCOTTY THOMPSON) (06/02/91)

Along similar terms to posting 3330, is dynamic string (etc?) allocation
possible on the stack.  Unthreading/disassembling the "allocate nibbles"
routine seems to indicate that dynamic string growth is possible, since
the routine takes the size already there and adds more nibbles.  Does
anyone know of a routine that will "subtract" A.A nibbles from a "sized"
object.  I am in increasing interest need to dynamically size objects
without having to first make "copies" (which eat memory).  For a m/l DBMS
system, for example, data stored in strings will be limited to about 1/3
of available memory if duping and summing are necessary.  I would
obviously like to prevent that with dynamic allocation.  Please advise.

Thanks..Scott.
