Function

Package: EXCL

Arguments: (size &key restart-relocation)

Uses the C aclmalloc() function to allocate a data block that is persistent across dumplisp/restarts. The block is guaranteed to be aligned to at least an 8-byte boundary. The returned value is an integer whose magnitude is the machine address of the allocated block.

size - specifies the number of bytes to allocate.

restart-relocation has no effect in Allegro CL 5.0. It is intended for possible future enhancements.

aclfree frees space allocated by aclmalloc.
