AnalHeapBase(5) File Formats Manual AnalHeapBase(5) NAME AnalHeapBase - Obtains the base address of the analysis heap SYNOPSIS #include <cmplrs/atom.anal.h> unsigned long AnalHeapBase( void ); DESCRIPTION An Atom tool's analysis routine calls the AnalHeapBase routine to ob- tain the base address of the analysis heap. Although Atom's default location for the analysis heap is usually suf- ficient for most applications, it may sometimes conflict with an ad- dress range used by the application. Normally, an address conflict would result in a call to malloc return- ing zero to the Atom tool's analysis routine. The routine should check for this case and, if it does occur, ask the tool's user to se- lect another location for the analysis heap. The -heapbase flag to the atom command accomplishes this. RETURN VALUES The AnalHeapBase routine returns an unsigned long containing the base address of the analysis heap.
