Allocation? Function!
[1/2] from: robbo1mark::aol::com at: 3-Aug-2001 5:58
Just trying to guage the lists opinion on the utility of a new function proposal ALLOCATION?
This would return the allocated size of series! values and would operate as follows.
>> a: make block! 16
== []
>> ALLOCATION? a
== 16
>> insert a 1
== [1]
>> ALLOCATION? a
== 16
>> ALLOCATION?/used a
== 1
>> ALLOCATION?/free a
== 15
What do you think? would this be useful?
cheers,
Mark Dickson

Sounds like a great idea to me. I know no way of getting the memory
allocation with the current implementation. May give us a better handle on
memory handling withing REBOL.
