Detailed Description

CPPI heap configuration structure (optional).


Field Documentation

Dynamic heap block size in bytes. This is the amount requested from Cppi_osalMalloc, whenever more memory is needed. Up to heapAlignPow2 can be lost at both beginning and end due to alignment, so it is recommended to make this value at least 4*(2^heapAlignPow2) or a minimum of 256 bytes, whichever is larger. A value of 0 will cause a system default (1024) to be used. A value < 0 will disable dynamic allocation

Heap alignment: power of 2 to align front and back of heap. This applies to both static and dynamic heaps. A value of 0 means use platform default which is 128 bytes (2^7). The minimum for correct functionality without shared memory is 3 (2^3 = 8).

Optional static heap. In order to prevent the use of Cppi_osalMalloc, the size should be at least the size returned by Cppi_getHeapReq. Otherwise, Cppi_osalMalloc will be used when the static heap is used. A value of NULL disables the static heap

Optional static heap size in bytes. Only used when staticHeapBase != NULL
