Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000049 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
50 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
51 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +000052 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000053 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
54 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
55 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
56 earlier.
