|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming an Nga built with 524287 cells of memory:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| RANGE | CONTAINS |
|
|
|
|
|
| --------------- | ---------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 0 - 1024 | rx kernel |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1025 - 1535 | token input buffer |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1536 + | start of heap space |
|
|
|
|
|
| ............... | free memory for your use |
|
|
|
|
|
| 506879 | buffer for string evaluate |
|
|
|
|
|
| 507904 | temporary strings (32 * 512) |
|
|
|
|
|
| 524287 | end of memory |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The buffers at the end of memory will resize when specific
|
|
|
|
|
variables related to them are altered.
