Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000020 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
21 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
22 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
23 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
24 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
25 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
26 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
27 earlier.
