ARRFalloc

Synopsis

INTEGER FUNCTION ARRFalloc (N1,

      .                         type,
      . number_of_elements,
      . N2)
       INTEGER N1, N2
       INTEGER type, number_of_elements

Description

For a complete description of this function, see ARRalloc.

Arguments

type

An integer code specifying the data type for which to allocate memory. All type codes are predefined in the include file omf.inc . The meaningful codes in the FORTRAN context are:

Code	Allocate memory for...
DTYPE_INT	Integer
DTYPE_FLOAT	Single-precision floating point
DTYPE_DOUBLE	Double-precision floating point

number_of_elements

The number of elements to be stored in the allocated memory, expressed as an integer.

N1
N2

Both N1 and N2 should be set to 0.

Returned value

The address of the allocated memory area or 0 if the call fails.

Example

#include <avs/omf.inc>
       INTEGER iaddr
       ...
       iaddr = ARRFalloc(0,DTYPE_FLOAT,2000,0)
       IF (iaddr .EQ. 0) PRINT*,'Error allocating memory area'
