Thread: memory allocation in bytes

As with the other 4 threads on malloc started by the same person, we probably need to understand what he/she is doing to help further. Unfortunately, it seems like this person prefers to start another thread on a similar subject rather than continue a previous one [this perhaps a misconstrued "Don't wake old threads" - I'm sure 2-3 days WHEN IT'S RELATED is fine - or just inability to find the old thread (considering that there are often 100 threads per day, I'm not surprised)].

I figure that if it's not on the first two pages, then related or not, the thread is too far gone to reply to. But that's just me.

I guess that is a judgment call [first two pages of a specific board, e.g. C programming, or first two pages of "New posts"?]

But if it's a very closely related subject, then it just gets fragmented and confusing if the thread is split into four different sections. We are not all on this board all the time, and the original thread may contain information not known to the current reader - it is naturally a balance - on another board where I'm a moderator, occasionally someone will wake threads that are more than 3 years old. Nearly every time, it's for something rather unrelated to the ORIGINAL thread, and thus should not be part of the old thread - time to use the "split thread" button.
