    obstacks

    I came across the term while browsing the GNU C Library, and I was wondering if anyone here has ever used them and for what? I did a search, but I didnt find anything useful. Thanks
    I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.

    Windows XP consists of 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

    I looked at the docs and it turned out to be exactly what I guessed it was. It is a memory stack for allocating objects. It looks like using a logical naming sceme does wonders You would use this to make a small stack to use for memory allocation. This sort of thing is generally a good idea so that you keep data structures in one area of memory.
