Memory Allocation Routines

Note: The CBL_ALLOC_* and CBL_FREE_* routines cannot be used in sub-programs that have the AMODE directive in effect.
  • CBL_ALLOC_MEM
    Dynamically allocates memory, and can associate allocated heap data with a thread and/or the calling program.
  • CBL_ALLOC_DYN_MEM
    Dynamically allocates memory, and can associate it with the calling program.
  • CBL_ALLOC_SHMEM
    Dynamically allocates shared memory.
  • CBL_ALLOC_THREAD_MEM
    Allocates thread-specific heap memory.
  • CBL_FREE_DYN_MEM
    Frees memory allocated by the CBL_ALLOC_DYN_MEM routine.
  • CBL_FREE_MEM
    Frees memory allocated by the CBL_ALLOC_MEM routine.
  • CBL_FREE_SHMEM
    Frees memory allocated by the CBL_ALLOC_SHMEM routine.
  • CBL_FREE_THREAD_MEM
    Frees memory allocated by the CBL_ALLOC_THREAD_MEM routine.
  • CBL_MEM_STRATEGY
    Changes the memory strategy for an application dynamically.
  • CBL_MEM_VALIDATE
    Validates memory allocations, monitored freed memory, and, if the operating system supports it, compacts memory heaps.
