NewPtrSysClear

Allocate an empty nonrelocatable block of memory on the

system heap

#include <Memory.h> Memory Manager

Size theSize ; desired allocation, in bytes (a 32-bit value)

returns address of allocated block; NIL if error

NewPtrSysClear is a variation on the routine NewPtr. It behaves just

like NewPtr, except that it uses the system heap to perform the allocation and

it fills the allocated space with zero (0).

theSize specifies how much memory you wish to allocate. It must be less

than 16M (a 24-bit value).

Returns: a Ptr; the address of the allocated space or NIL (0) if there wasn't

room in the heap zone for the allocation. The MemError function

may return an Error Code of:

noErr (0) No error

memFullErr (-108) No room in heap

Notes: See NewPtr for more information.
