[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Memory allocation methods

GORRIEDE@UREGINA1.BITNET (Dennis Robert Gorrie) (11/15/89)

I have to write a tiny 50x30 spreadsheet program in m.l. for a class project,
and I am looking for some good memory allocation schemes. The worksheet
basicaly consists of 16 bit pointers to data elements in a memory pool.
The data elements may be strings, 24 bit integers, and formulas.  The 16 bit
pointers are POINTERS ONLY, and all the data type/lenght information must
be contained in the data element itself.

Doing a memory allocation scheme for this is not too hard, until I started
trying to figure out a way of cleaning up data from cleared pointers, or
strings that change lenght for example.

Any general flow diagrams or algorithims would be helpful.
