critical impact:

amalloc family APIs - not supported; temporarily available (CrUn95)

Problem description

The acalloc, acreate, adelete, afree, amallinfo, amalloc, amallopt, amallocblksize, and arealloc routines exist only on Tru64 UNIX; they are not available on HP-UX. These routines will be available on a temporary basis in the Tru64 UNIX Migration Environment for HP-UX (Itanium® only).

The Migration Environment contains Tru64 UNIX APIs, development tools, and commands and utilities to assist you in migrating your applications from Tru64 UNIX to HP-UX.

Identifiers

acalloc	afree	amallocblksize
acreate	amallinfo	amallopt
adelete	amalloc	arealloc

Solution description

The acreate, adelete, afree, amallinfo, amalloc, amallopt, amallocblksize, and arealloc routines are in the Tru64 UNIX Migration Environment for HP-UX (Itanium® only).

Applications will be able to use these APIs from the Tru64 UNIX Migration Environment for HP-UX. Please note that the Migration Environment is temporary. If you use one of these APIs that are in the Migration Environment, be aware of the following restrictions:

• The initial size for the arena that is being created must be greater than 32 K (kilobytes).

• In a multithreaded environment, the RAD (Resource Affinity Domain) is not supported. Therefore, the RAD value will default to zero.
