rel-alloc for windows?

rel-alloc for windows?

[Ben Wing]

has anyone in GNU land gotten rel-alloc to work for Windows?  it should 
certainly be possible; there's even an implementation of sbrk() in 
w32heap.c (XEmacs ntheap.c).  but i don't see any evidence of it in the 
GNU emacs source code of this getting used with rel-alloc.

rel-alloc ? Are you talking about the relocatable allocator ? I used to
compile xemacs with src/ralloc.c. I think I was using the MMAP scheme. I
can have a look to my old patches if you are interested. How evever, it
compiled, I have been using it quite heavily (gnus!) but  I have no
evidence that the reallocation stuff was actually working.

??? I do see evidence that the Windows port of Emacs uses the
relocatable allocator: nt/config.nt (the source of src/config.h for
the Windows port) defines REL_ALLOC.  And in my NTEmacs build tree,
there's ralloc.o in the directory where the object files are produced.
