What is the modern day equivalent of farcoreleft? It is still usable in Turbo C++ 3.0 but not in 4.5.

1. Google what farcoreleft does.
2. Google keywords based on that description.
3. ???
Am I doing it right?

Why do you need that?
Memory segmentation, far and near addressing, big and tiny models, etc. are all concepts long and thankfully dead. These days memory addressing is virtual, with the addresses you see being offsets from the base address of your program's memory space, not real machine addresses.
Just test the return value of malloc(), calloc() and realloc() they'll tell you fast enough if you're out of memory.
Also... since I know about the old DOS trick of grabbing all available memory... Attempting to do that on a multitasking system is very likely to crash every running program on your system...As in... "Did you really need to malloc() 32 gigs of ram?".
Use the memory you need, free it as soon as you're done with it... play fair.
Plus... if you're still playing with Turbo C or Turbo C++ ... it's time to move up to a real compiler... Pelles for C ... MinGw for C++ ...

C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
Don't feel bad... while the ole noggin' was digging for the answer, I flashed on this...
How else do you expect me to be able to make a Tic-Tac-Toe game?!

One might reasonably assume in THAT much memory you could at least manage Othello (aka Reversi)....
Or if you're particularly careful... maybe even Hangman...
@franc1280: having been rendered meaningless by
farcoreleft == infinity
Bank on it!

A core segment of us might find several offsets of puns concerning that.
(In fact: I know people who would *pay* for a straight line like that one!)
Always the finger pointer eh? This has gone on far enough, and I'm going to address this before you start heaping accusations. If memory serves me, there haven't been nearly enough puns on this forum.

Trying to swap in a dynamic form of humour in a static forum not well known for it's upgradeability???
How refreshing?
I just peeked in here to see if you were going to poke more fun at me again. Does it count if I use something as basic as that?Trying to swap in a dynamic form of humour in a static forum not well known for it's upgradeability???

Must be your goto move, huh?
