memory addressing

I am having some partitioned pages using malloc function. The malloc function will return a address to the variable. I have to assign a address value to this partitioned pages. I will assign a function to theses pages. so whatever the value return in that function will be stored in that address.

can anyone help me in this issue..

thanks in advance...

I don't understand what you mean by:

I have to assign a address value to this partitioned pages.

You already HAVE an address - that is what malloc() returns.

I will assign a function to theses pages.

What does this mean, each page will have a function?

i want to allocate pages of some KB which starts from address what i am giving.. one function, for eg: add function will be assigning to these pages. so the return value should be stored in that particular page which starts from the address wt i am giving.

I still don't understand what you want to do...

i want to allocate 1MB of memory and partition those memory into pages, each of 4KB. Then i want to store the value returned by add function to one of the page allocated. I want the initial address to be given by the user and every time the function has to store the value in the same address. can i do it.

If by "initial address", you mean where in memory you should start your 1MB block, then malloc() does not allow this. There are OS specific functions that allow you to allocate memory at a specific address range [subject to that address range being available of course]. In linux/Unix, you'd use mmap(), in Windows VirtualAlloc().

thanks matsp

Ask malloc() to give you 1MB of memory. Then you can do whatever you want with it, such as creating a pointer to every 4KB in that 1MB block...

Code:

char* ptr_pool[256];
char* buf = malloc( 1024 * 1024 );

for ( int i = 0; i < 256; ++i )
{
    ptr_pool[i] = buf + (i * 4096);
}
