Arguments: size &key restart-relocation
Uses the C aclmalloc() function to allocate a data block that is persistent across dumplisp/restarts. The location in the restarted image is guaranteed to be the same as in the dumped image (if Lisp is unable to map it to that location, Lisp startup will fail). This means that addresses in locations allocated by aclmalloc will be valid.
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.
The size argument specifies the number of bytes to allocate.
The restart-relocation keyword argument has no effect in Allegro CL. It is intended for possible future enhancements.
aclfree frees space allocated by aclmalloc.
