34 /* FUNCTION
35 Allocate some memory from the system memory pool at a given address.
37 INPUTS
38 byteSize - Number of bytes you want to get
39 location - Where you want to get the memory
41 RESULT
42 A pointer to some memory including the requested bytes or NULL if
43 the memory couldn't be allocated
45 NOTES
47 EXAMPLE
49 BUGS
51 SEE ALSO
52 FreeMem()
54 INTERNALS
55 This function may trash memory right after the allocation if it builds
56 a new MemChunk there. Additionally it will trash additional area before
57 and after the allocated space if mungwall is turned on. The additional
58 space will be used for mungwall service data.
60 We can't just disable mungwalling for this function because in this case
61 FreeMem() on AllocAbs()ed region will crash (FreeMem() will expect mungwall
62 header attached to the chunk and there's no way to tell which function was
63 used to allocate it.
