FreePotBits does nothing. Is this bug so well
known that no one talks about it? Here's an example code fragment:
// open the potgo resource etc.
allocmask = AllocPotBits(MASK);
if (allocmask != MASK) {
printf("error blah blah...");
FreePotBits(allocmask);
exit(0);
} // end if
FreePotBits(allocmask);
// end of program fragment
A program containg the above code will run the first time, but
will not be able to allocate the bits the second time. If I have
done something wrong, what is the correct way? I've written the
exact code in Benchmark and get the same result, so I don't think
the problem is with Lattice.
Thanks,
John Schultz

Ah. Here's your problem. ^^^^ That should be AllocPotBits(MASK, PotgoBase).
< if (allocmask != MASK) {
< printf("error blah blah...");
< FreePotBits(allocmask);
^^^^^^^^^ FreePotBits(allocmask, PotgoBase)
< exit(0);
< } // end if
<
< FreePotBits(allocmask);
^^^^^^^^^ ditto.
<// end of program fragment

Here's your problem. ^^^^ That should be AllocPotBits(MASK, PotgoBase). That makes sense. I should really get some updated docs (for the C end). As for Benchmark, *there is only ONE argument* to these functions. I'll talk to Leon about this and see if it has been corrected in the latest version of Benchmark. >ARPAnet: johnhlee@cory.Berkeley.EDU John Lee Thanks, John Schultz
