RE: [ECOS] Separate the heap from bss section

[Ho Shui Choy Stanley PS03B NCS <scho at ncs dot com dot sg>]

I have done that but it is still not used. I have specify that the heap size
be 128KB and the fall back memory pool size is 64KB. When I use the
mallinfo, it reported that the size was only 64KB.

below is from the generated from the build in pkgconf/heaps.hxx

#ifndef CYGONCE_PKGCONF_HEAPS_HXX
#define CYGONCE_PKGCONF_HEAPS_HXX
/* <pkgconf/heaps.hxx> */

/* This is a generated file - do not edit! */

#define CYGMEM_HEAP_COUNT 0
#include <cyg/memalloc/dlmalloc.hxx>

extern Cyg_Mempool_dlmalloc *cygmem_memalloc_heaps[ 1 ];

#endif
/* EOF <pkgconf/heaps.hxx> */

Should the heap count be 1 instead of 0?

Thanks
Stanley

Create a user defined section in the MLT named "heap1", located wherever
you want. Look at other standard targets for comparison if that helps.
